Sometimes you forget you're actually reading a book for children. While, in this case, it was clear that it was a children's book, as the writing was a bit simple at times, I did highly enjoy it. The small world created in this book was whimsical and creative and lovely. And it's also just really cool that the writer has the same first name as I have.

The Tunnels Below by Nadine Wild-Palmer is an imaginative and unique adventure story with a fast-paced plot, a creative range of characters and a big problem to solve. This book is a great read for primary school-aged children, as well as younger teens.
