Four young children find a hidden cave that houses a space/time warp. The four embark on a series of adventures, taking them back through time and space. They make three separate visits to the cave and have three distinctly different adventures.
They become trapped in a Saturn V rocket on a journey into space. They also help to search for a prehistoric child who is in grave danger. Then finally, they try to save Queen Cleopatra from kidnappers in ancient Egypt.
Interesting and adventurous story, well written and easy to read, should spark an interest for children to go and investigate the historical characters mentioned in the book.
An excellent children’s story book. Exciting without being too scary. Just the sort of literature that grandparents would be happy to buy for their beloved grandchildren. I look forward to reading more books from Ray Rigby.
The Crystal Cave is a lovely book for young children who enjoy adventure and love history. There is a good deal of humour in the book that will make children laugh and parents smile. My little boy particularly enjoyed the space adventure. This is a heartwarming little gem of a book.
