Underworld Underworld

by Catherine MacPhail

A school trip goes disastrously wrong when a visit to local caves turns into something far more sinister. Five school children find themselves trapped beneath the ground. Their best chance of escape is to stay together. Then a member of the group disappears and their hopes of leaving start to fade. Does one of the remaining four know more than they are letting on, or is there something evil lurking in the caves?

 

The five children find themselves in a struggle for dominance as well as survival.

Reviews

I have read the book Underworld by Cathy MacPhail and I did not enjoy it. I thought it dragged on too much although the blurb seemed interesting and I thought it would be really exciting but I got so bored of it, I ended up leaving it in the end, before it even got to the main part! The type of book it like to read are Cathy Cassidy, Jacqueline Wilson, Jean Ure ect, however I do enjoy adventure books but this one was not what I expected it to be.
