“The story is not just a compelling drama, it’s also educational. Highly recommended to 9–12-year-olds” The Wishing Shelf Book Review (UK)
“A simple, yet powerful story.” Emily-Jane Hills Orford Readers’ Favorite
"Middle grade readers already familiar with Evans’ intriguing method of pairing history with horses will find this latest adventure as thoroughly engaging and attractive as her prior books." Diane Donovan - Midwest Book Reviews

Imagine living in a mine 2,000 feet underground, in the damp and the dark, and filled with rat Young Bethan is living a peaceful life in a coal mining town in South Wales. Her parents have sacrificed to send her to a private girls’ school. But her world crumbles when her father is badly injured after a section of the mine collapses.
Setting her dreams aside for the time being, Bethan must help support her family. Defying the laws forbidding it, she goes to work 2,000 feet underground in the dark, damp, and terrifying coal mine.
Her only source of comfort comes in the form of Dobbin, the very pit pony who saved her father’s life.
