Description
At the rural cotton mill, life is hard and cruel, a far cry from the fresh start Bess had hoped for. She's left behind the London workhouse for a job, but the mill is like a prison with no way out. Rumours spread about a vicious creature that lurks in the millpond, and Bess is sure it's all nonsense - until one night she sees something stir in the murky water. As she watches, the creature's fate becomes clear: is it a monster trapped in the depths of the pond, or a being desperate to escape, just like Bess? This atmospheric tale of freedom and friendship explores the complexities of life, friendship, and the human condition. Suitable for readers aged 9+, this book is a thought-provoking and engaging read.
