Double Crossing

By Richard Platt

Illustrated by Alex Higlett

The amazing story of a young immigrant's journey to Ellis Island and his life beyond.

It's 1908, and David O'Connor, newly orphaned and alone in the world, has had to leave his home in Ireland to go and live with his uncle and aunt in America. His journey to New York and his new life there are tougher than David could ever have imagined, especially when he is harbouring a dark secret which he must take with him to his grave. His incredible story is recorded in his journal, complete with mementoes of his journey.
