Description
A Scottish children's story of adventure and hardship, set in the early 19th century. Ten-year-old twins Kirsty and David Murray are forced to leave their home after their house is burned down by Countess's men. They travel across Scotland to Glasgow before embarking on a perilous journey to Hudson Bay in Canada. The twins face many challenges as they navigate city life, hard work in the mills, and a treacherous Atlantic crossing. Will they survive this long and difficult journey, and what will they find in their new home? Kathleen Fidler's tale of resilience and determination is a gripping story that will keep children engaged from start to finish.
