(Magic Ink Press, July 18, 2019)
Billy lives with his Ma, sister Lottie and Grandpa in a two-up two-down terraced house in Bow, East London, around the corner from the old Bryant and May match factory. Bullied at school, life is humdrum. But when his Grandpa tells him that his Great Gran Milly contracted the terrible bone disease, ‘Phossy Jaw’ as a result of working in the factory, Billy knows he has to go back in time and change history.
