Book Review: Tunnels

A great remake of the Journey to The Center of the Earth, which in my opinion, I think might even be better than it.

It tells a more realistic story of a boy(Will) whose father(Dr. Burrows) is something like an archeologist for the museum and they dig in hope of finding something but soon his father discovers something phenomenal and wants to share it with the world but gets kidnapped and Will is determined to find his father with the help of his good friend Chester, but soon realizes there's more to it than meets the eye and has to go underground to find his father. He then escapes from his wretched mother and strange sister, Rebecca.

They discover the colony which are a bunch of people who have decided to live undergrounds hundreds of years ago so that they can escape the so-called 'Topsoilers' and Will and Chester being topsoilers are then captured and thrown into jail but Will is set-free to realize the truth that he is actually born in the colony!!! And he then starts to know people like Cal(his real brother), and Uncle Tam and they decide to work together to find Dr. Burrows.

Like Rumo, this story also goes through many more adventures but there is no happy ending and it really hints that this book is a series. Fantastic reading content and character build-up.

Thank you,
