The Gate In The Wall

Informationen zum Autor Ellen Howard is the author of more than a dozen books for young readers. Klappentext Late by only a minute! ten-year-old Emma has been locked out of the mill where she works ten hours a day at the silk-spinning machines. Her pay will be docked; she is sure to be beaten by her brother-in-law! Ben! when she gets home; and none of it is her fault. She sinks to the ground and cries. Then! through her tears! she sees a gate in a wall! a gate she has never seen before. Hesitantly she pushes through! putting off her return home. And through that gate she finds not only a waterway! which she later learns is a canal! and a strangely beautiful boat! but the entrance to a whole new future.
