Description
Although this lively adventure calls to mind Tom Sawyer and Indiana Jones, it has a storyline all its own that begs to be read cover to cover. It all begins with a refrigerator delivery to the lonely house perched on and chained to a huge rock by the foot of a mountain. 11-year-old Thomas Hammond is a little confused about why his mother left him the box and packaging to "play with," but nonetheless, he kicks the box and tosses a thick sheet of foam down to the creek. Angry that his teacher is courting his widower mother and coming to dinner that night to boot, he makes a game of throwing debris at the floating foam. When Tom goes to bed that night, overwhelmed with the fact that his teacher proposed to his mother, he sneaks out of the house for some fresh air and accidentally embarks on an underground journey that involves a corpse, a gang of criminals, archaeological wonders, and some other underground castaways. But since Tom can't exactly swim back out the way he came, how will he get back above ground and clear his "missing person" status? By N.D. Wilson, 224 pgs, pb. ~ Jess
