For ages 9-12. In this fascinating historical novel, twelve-year-old Jolene travels back in time to the year 1903 and finds herself in the coalmining town of Frank on the eve of Canada's deadliest rockslide. Disguised as a boy, Jolene faces many challenges, the hardest being whether she can save herself and her grandfather from the Frank Slide.
