Audience: Elementary and up

Synopsis:

Will has always noticed that his family doesn’t quite fit together. The one interest he shares with his father is an interest in digging and archeological finds. What he doesn’t realize that there are mysterious reasons that his family seems so hodge-podge and that his interest in digging is going to land him in a dilemma from which there is no returning. This book has a bit of a City of Ember feel, so if you’re a fan of that book, you’d probably like Tunnels.
