Hannah

Book 1999

The place is Nova Scotia. Life is incredibly hard for all the immigrant families working in the coal mine. But it's hardest of all for eleven-year-old Hannah's family. Her father was just killed in the mine, and her mother is very ill from having a baby. Soon they may have nowhere to live. The only way to save her family is by working in the coal mine. But the miners believe women or girls in the mine will bring disaster. What can Hannah do?
