    <![CDATA[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. &quot;The Colony&quot; 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? <br/><br/>KIDS DIG TUNNELS! <br/><br/>&quot;My eyes were my gray metal shovel and my dark unexpected tunnel was the book. I kept digging my way deeper into the plot to find out what was going to happen next.&quot;--Alexa, age 12 <br/><br/>&quot;...a unique mix of fantasy and adventure that keeps you wondering what's going to happen next....the vivid descriptions will transport you to a whole new world.&quot;--Matt, age 14 <br/><br/>&quot;...I was on the edge of my seat until the last page. It was intricately mystifying. Full praise to TUNNELS--I want more!&quot;--Garrett, age 12 [close] ]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I got this as my free audiobook when signing up with Audible.com. I had heard this was a candidate as a successor to the Harry Potter series in terms of franchise/popularity/etc potential. It ain't that at all!
