This is one of the most incredible books i have ever read, all I can say is wow.

This is such an excellent story, that it is hard to believe that this is written for children.
As the potato famine grips Ireland, a boy and his younger sister leaves their dying mother to journey to California to rejoin their father. Gripping and heartwarming.
