What a sweet historical fiction fantasy novel for middle grade!

Set in WWI era London, Bo, Billy, and Eddie are mudlarks that spend their time along the banks of the Thames, looking for treasure. Bo's brother Harry has just departed for France, and his little sister Bo and their mother remain behind. What follows is a sweet adventure with sadness, hearbreak, and friendships along the way.

Perfect for younger middle grade and older elementary readers. The setting and some of the language is pretty sophisticated, so I think this would be a bigger hit with most experienced and curious readers. As an adult, I enjoyed it myself. I teach eighth graders and some my more voracious readers who love fantasy would enjoy this a lot. I plan to check out the author's other book for younger readers as well.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC!
