Chronicle In Pursuance Of Books Tunnels (Tunnels #1)
14-year-old Will Burrows has little in common with his strange, dysfunctional family. In fact, the only bond he shares with his eccentric father is a passion for archaeological excavation. So when his dad mysteriously vanishes, Will is compelled to dig up the truth behind his disappearance. He unearths the unbelievable: a subterranean society that time forgot. "The Colony" has existed unchanged for a century, but it's no benign time capsule of a bygone era. Because the Colony is ruled by a merciless overclass, the Styx. Will must free his father--is he also about to ignite a revolution?Be Specific About Books Conducive To Tunnels (Tunnels #1)

I have had this book on my shelves for a very very long time. I had tried to read this a couple times and just couldnt get into it. This time I was able to make it a little farther but I just couldnt keep going on. I wouldnt say this was a bad book, I just wasnt interested in what was going on.Reviewed by Joan Stradling for TeensReadToo.comLike his father, fourteen-year-old Will Burrows has an obsession with archaeological digs. When his father disappears, Will is determined to find him. With the help of his best friend, Chester, Will discovers a network of tunnels under modern-day London. As they follow the tunnels deeper and deeper into the earth, they discover a dark underworld. But the inhabitants don't want them there. Will never dreamed his digging would unearth dark family
I don't remember why I chose this book, but I didn't really like it. It took so long for the author to say anything. The action took so long to develop and when there finally was action, there was too much dialogue and unnecessary description that it took the reader out of the action. I was choking myself through it the whole time waiting for things to happen. The book I read was Tunnels by Roderick Gordon. Its about fouteen- year old Will Burrows lives with his family in London. He has little

Like City of Ember this is another underground dystopia story. The main character is Will Burroughs, a young adolescent boy who lives in London with his a dysfunctional family: an aloof, absent-minded archeologist father, a distant depressed mother, and a hostile older teenage sister. Will takes after his father with a keen interest in excavation. He helps with his father's "digs" and conducts his own assisted by his friend Chester. The father is the curator of a local museum which gives him
I enjoyed this book somewhat. There was some action in it but not a lot. This book would be great for people who like mystery. In this book there's a boy and his dad. They broke into an abandoned train station and they were exploring. They got into an office and they were searching in it. If you want to see what happens next, you should read the book.
Very interesting idea and characters that are easy to relate to. A fascinating world building experience.
I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about this book. I liked the idea loyalty to family and friends. There is an ominous feeling of hopelessness surrounding Will's predicament and although he makes it through some tough moments I'm still left wondering how things can get better for him. Digging tunnels and archaeological (sp?) stuff is unfamiliar territory but was interesting nonetheless. There is a sequel and I'm looking forward to reading it.
