Inspired by the true story of the trapped miner of Bonnie Vale and told in verse, Julia Lawrinson weaves a tale that will beckon readers down into the gold mine to find out how the daring rescue unfolded.

In 1907, the mining town of Bonnie Vale experiences a sudden deluge of rain that floods a gold mine while miners are still at work down the shaft. Joe's dad is one of them. And it soon becomes clear that he's the only one who hasn't made it back out. Where is he? Why didn't he escape with the others? And more importantly, how will they rescue him?

Trapped takes readers on a historical journey, capturing the peril and heroism of a community desperate to save one of their own.
