Digging Deeper

I recently started re-reading Tunnels by Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams. I really enjoyed this book when I first read it. I found the story and characters very well done. I hope I have the same or better experience this time around. When I first read Tunnels, I had a constant feeling of suspense and excitement. I desperately wanted to keep reading and see what happened on the next page. While the beginning was actually quite slow, the book really picked up speed towards the middle and end. When it ended in a cliffhanger, I knew I had to read the rest of the series. Which I did.

Now for the section that's actually about the book. The book starts with Will Burrows and his father, Dr. Burrows digging up an archaeological site. The author describes it as, "Under the combined glare of their helmet lamps, each greedy handful revealed more of the old wooden planking beneath, exposing its tar-coated grain and splintery surface." ( Williams, Gordon, 2). This is one of the only interests Will shares with his Dad, digging. Dr. Burrows, the curator of a struggling museum, comes into the possession of a strange artifact. Soon after, he disappears. Eager to find his dad, Will and his friend Chester start examining his last known whereabouts. I won't go into much further detail since that will probably spoil the book. However, I remember it being a good book and will post a more detailed review after my re-read.
