That boy, Jack

Brian, Janeen, 1948-2013
Book
Best friends Jack and Gilbert made a pact when they were six promising to work together in the copper mines, just like their fathers and many generations of Cornish immigrants. But now Jack is turning 12, and the thought of working underground fills him with panic. When Gilbert is forced to leave school and work at the picky-table, sorting ore, Jack wants to keep his word and that means facing his fear. But sometimes the most courage thing to do is follow your heart.
