Ten-year-old twins Kirsty and David Murray love their crofting life
in the north of Scotland. They collect shellfish, milk the cows and
help their father grow oats and vegetables. Then one day the
Countess's men come and burn their house, saying they must leave.
The family travel across Scotland to Glasgow. City life is dirty
and overcrowded, and work in the mills is hard and dangerous. The
chance comes to join a ship sailing for Hudson Bay in Canada, and
once again they start a long, perilous journey. Will they survive
the treacherous Atlantic crossing, and what will they find in the
strange new land? Kathleen Fidler had a gift for bringing
characters from history to life for today's children. The Desperate
Journey is her best-known story, a true Scottish classic whose
thrilling plot will keep children gripped from start to end.
