2007, historical fiction. Tells the story of a boy named billy creekmore. He has mystifying powers and a gift of storytelling. Lives in an orphanage until a stranger claims billy and takes him on a journey. Travels to the coal mines of West Virginia.

It's best not to get settled on things being a certain way, I realized. Life had a funny way if interrupting your plans.

This is a book about a boy who was born with powers and a gift of storytelling. Billy lives in an orphanage until a stranger comes and takes him home. The story is about Billy‘s experience.

Emma returned to Coal River after a fire incident left her orphaned. She hated Coal River for many reasons but the most heartrending was the constant shroud of oppression over the lives of the young children working as #breakerboys in #coalmines. She is determined to change their lives through her acts of courage and kindness. Another #poignant #historicalfiction by Wiseman I really enjoyed.
