- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This novel belongs to two genres, science fiction & historical fiction. Time travel occurs, taking a modern boy to a difficult time in the past. Thirteen-year-old Tom, an unhappy foster child in Liverpool, falls into a massive open grave and is transported to Ireland in 1847, where he finds himself in the midst of the deadly potato famine. The way he is dressed and his ability to perform life saving CPR on a drowning boy make Tom seem like a supernatural hero to the people in the small Irish town in which he finds himself. Tom uses the skills and knowledge he has as a 20th century teenager to help the struggling Irish family he meets.This is a fascinating tale of history. I became very interested in the Irish potato famine after reading The Grave, and I researched it by reading another book in our library, Black Potatoes: the story of the great Irish famine, 1845-1850, by Susan Campbell Bartoletti.
