Description

This book is aimed at children from about nine to twelve years of age and incorporates lots of Tamar Valley history: mining, horticulture, and use of the River Tamar to move goods. We think it’s the perfect gift for boys and girls who love to read.

Polly’s idyllic life is under threat. Her family may have to sell their beautiful woodland home in the Tamar Valley.  But then a peculiar encounter introduces her to a subterranean and secretive people who have existed in the Valley for many centuries and who face their own perils. Working together, and in secret, can Polly and her new-found friends save the beautiful woods and their way of life?
