Tunnels by Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams, 2007This book is an intriguing story which starts off with a normal family in a suburb of London. The hero of the story is a 14 year old Albino boy Will Burrows. The boy and his father share a delight in digging tunnels under London and share in the excitement of discovering archeological remains. The story though takes a dark twist as his father disappears one day and we witness the struggle of Will and his new friend from school as they dig deep under ground to find out what has happened to Dr Burrows.
This is the first book in a series and the book ends with a series of gruesome incidents which I feel will be explored in later books. I look forward to the further adventures of Will Burrows.
The book is an easy read and the style is clear and I did not get bored as I felt the story escalated with new twists and turns to keep the readers attention. I give this book an 8 out of 10.

I thought this book was tremendously fun to read. The book starts off with the main character who lives with his family in London. He has a passion for digging which he shares with his dad (Doctor Burrows). When Dr Burrows suddenly goes missing then him and his best friend Chester search for clues in his dads cellar where they find a tunnel which leads them to a completely different Underworld called The Colony.
When the book eventually finished, leaving me on a cliff-hanger, I immediately wanted to read the next book in the series because this book is full of unknown surprises which creep up on you and really shock you when they do. I would give this book 8/10 because there were some bits they could improve on. Still, they had good twists and turns to keep the reader from stopping.
