Ten thrilling true-life stories... Swanson's style makes these stories entertaining reading. -- Alison Chadsey "Victoria Times Colonist" (01/18/2004) It's a fun read. Recommended.--Ian Stewart"Canadian Materials" (06/06/2003) Ten thrilling true-life stories... [Swanson's] style makes these stories entertaining reading.--Alison Chadsey"Victoria Times Colonist" (01/18/2004) A fascinating collection of 10 suspenseful stories ... A surefire hit for readers who like real-life, page-turning adventures.--Laurie von Mehren"School Library Journal" (05/01/2003) On first thought, tunnels might seem to be only boring holes in the ground. However, in her eleven brief but fascinating chapters in Tunnels!, Swanson investigates intriguing aspects of ancient Egyptian tombs, the inherent dangers tunnels pose to the people who use them, how tunnels have been used by criminal masterminds in their nefarious schemes and by ordinary people wanting to escape tyrannical political regimes, in war, and the extraordinary skill and daring that goes into building the precarious underground constructions.... A wide range of students will enjoy Swanson's underground journey that takes them from King Tut's time to the modern age. Its straightforward clear narrative style lends itself to younger readers, and the diverse high interest nature of the chapter topics will draw the attention of middle school students. It's a fun read. Recommended.--Ian Stewart"Canadian Materials" (06/06/2003)
Reseña del editor
In this collection readers will find ten gripping tunnel stories from around the world. There are stories of surviving a mining disaster, selfless heroes, uncovering ancient treasure, smuggling people to freedom, and the building of tunnels deep beneath the sea. Did you know that tunnels were instrumental in the dramatic release of 72 hostages held for over four months in the Japanese Embassy in Lima, Peru in 1997? Or that during the Vietnam War, guerrilla fighters known as the Viet Cong created a sophisticated system of tunnels complete with four levels, trap doors and strategic ditches?
