Phoebe's Challenge — Valerie Holmes

Phoebe and her younger brother Tom escape from the cotton mills that fate had left them in; and, therefore, from the evil grip of Benjamin Bladderwell...Helped by a stranger, they make their way to the north-east coast to trace their mother's family. Little do they realise the dangers yet to befall them, and how important their illusive new friend will become to them if they are to survive the evil that dogs their past.
