«Deadly Jobs» is the young adult novel by Philippa Boston with illustrations by Mark Beech, published by Didier in paperback (64 pages, in French).
In industrial England of the 19th century, only a few children could go to school; others, sometimes from age 4, worked as chimney sweeps or in mines. The story follows Tom, a young Englishman who in 1832 is just trying to stay alive. It is an intermediate-level read.
Published in 2013, it is part of the Paper Planes Teens collection, within the Terrible Times series, at level A2. A free MP3 audio version is offered.
Designed for young readers who want to approach history through a short and educational fiction.
