This week's Bookshelf Best is 'Dark Flood by Karon Alderman.
Don’t you just love it when a random choice in the library turns out to be a complete winner? ‘Dark Flood’ by Karon Alderman follows Archie and the tough time he is experiencing; his beloved Granda (and the main male role model in his life) is seriously ill in hospital. Therefore, Archie, armed with his Granda’s fiddle, tries to make some money by busking. All is going well until the dreadful Robson twins turn up. Will a nasty attack see Archie alongside his Granda in hospital? Or will his ancestors from 1815 come to his rescue? A fantastic time-slip tale steeped full of mining history from Newcastle-on-Tyne over two hundred years ago.
Perfect for readers ages 9 and over.
