The Grave (James Heneghan)
Abandoned in a shopping mall when he was little, Tom Mullen has no family -- he has spent his entire life being shuffled from one rotten foster home to another. When he hears rumors that a mass grave has been unearthed on his school grounds, he feels inexplicably drawn to it, and then down into its terrible darkness and beyond. He discovers that he is no longer in Liverpool of 1974, but in Ireland of 1847, at the height of the Potato Famine. But why has Tom been transported across time and place? And why must the grave keep yanking him back to his dreary, lonely existence in Liverpool? Most of all, what does it mean that the Monaghans' son Tully is practically Tom's double?
