This book is great for middle grade readers. The main characters, George, Katie and Dougie all behave in ways that are believable for their age. I hate books that over mature their characters. These kids were perfect from what they discussed with each other and the ways they behaved. However, if I was that age stuck in a cave captured by a mad man I'd be bawling like a baby. Good thing these kids are smarter than I am. The story had a lot of mystery and wonder and keeps you wanting to know what will happen next. The kids show thoughtfulness, reasoning and friendship. I really love that George has his dog Flan along for the ride as well. It gave the story more interest involving a boy and his dog.
The only thing I wish the book did was explanation first thing their location better. It took me a bit before I realized they were somewhere in the United Kingdom and that's why their realized was realised and they used a torch rather than a flashlight. Just make sure your child understands that so they're not confused.
