Fantastic historical fiction for middle grade readers, inspired by a true story of tenant farmers fighting back against evictions in Highlands of Scotland. Similar evictions happened in Ireland – where my relatives are from – and this book got me seriously choked up. It's written with such fly on the wall accuracy, you feel like you are inside a 19th-century rural hovel with only an open fire to cook over. Loved it.
