Description

A boy and his dog survive the 1909 Cherry Mine disaster in this action-packed and heartwarming story. When Thomas's family needs money, he's forced to go to work in the coal mines, even though neither of his late parents wanted that for him. His only comfort is his dog Finder, a failed hunting dog who now pulls a cart in the mines. When disaster strikes, can Thomas and Finder escape from the fires deep below ground? The Dog Chronicles series features fast-paced, fascinating historical fiction about working dogs, perfect for readers who love books.
