Title: Verne revived
Review: This is an unusual book, with a gripping story accompanied by unique illustrations and drawings. It has a masculine overview and will appeal to pre-teens and young adults who enjoy a combination of fantasy, challenge and the unexpected. Young Will Burrows likes to search for artifacts in and around his home town, often helped and encouraged by his father who is curator of the local museum. But his father disappears. Will and a school buddy then find a tunnel on one of their digs, and follow it - down, down into a culture resembling their own but of a past era. But there is danger, too. Then they learn that they are going to have to descend further, and into the unknown interior of the earth itself to find Will's father. What else will they encounter? This book is first of a series.
