Dawn by Emma Hooper

Jenny’s family have recently moved from their home in Canada to a village in Dorset to take over the running of her Grandpa’s quarry - ‘aka abandoned everything for a few English rocks’. Homesick and lonely, she explores quarry caves when she’s meant to be waiting at school for her brother to finish football practice. One day she finds something incredible.
