Old Children's Book. Liked it as a kid, but haven't read it in years.

[Joshua · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well, that was bizarre. Children's series (e.g., Tunnels, Last Dragon Chronicles) sometimes get crazy in later books—perhaps because the authors already have their contracts and so can just write whatever they want—and this is an excellent example. I have…just, so many questions.
