Not at all what I expected, this book suprised me with the tremendously detailed world it creates. The extremely evil bad guy is not who you think it's going to be and you'll shocked when he/she is unmasked. An exciting, thrilling, claustrophic adventure suitable for children and adults alike.

Tunnels is a good read. A bit drawed out at times. A real cliffhanger, making you want to read the next one. The characers all well thought out and make you rout for them.
Worth the read.

Like his father, fourteen-year-old Will Burrows has an obsession with archaeological digs.

When his father disappears, Will is determined to find him. With the help of his best friend, Chester, Will discovers a network of tunnels under modern-day London. As they follow the tunnels deeper and deeper into the earth, they discover a dark underworld.

But the inhabitants don't want them there.

Will never dreamed his digging would unearth dark family secrets . . . secrets that should have remained buried.

I enjoyed reading TUNNELS. The dark caverns of this book were filled with twists and turns that took me deeper and deeper into the story. I found myself completely submerged in the underground world and the lives of the characters.

It was a little slow going at first, and there were a few rough spots to get through, but this is to be expected when tunneling to avoid collapse later on. Once the story broke through into the underground, it was fast-paced and exciting with surprises around every turn.

I am looking forward to the sequel so I can go DEEPER.
