Casey lived in an average house & neighborhood.
1 day he got a brilliant idea.
His parents & sister were all doing stuff, so he snuck out of the house.
He started digging up the yard & then covered it all back up.
It was late at night, so he quit & snuck back inside.
Mom wondered why there were dirt tracks in the house & dad was puzzled there was a mound of dirt by the garden.
Monday-Saturday he did the same thing.
Dad just thought it was moles.
Casey had built a swimming pool & then a fancy waterslide.
Next came an adventure playground, & a life size Tyrannosaurus Rex.
He got his friends to help. Guess what they built?
But then something else happened.
I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.
A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written children’s suspense book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great children’s suspense dog movie, an animated cartoon, or better yet a mini TV series. There is no doubt in my mind this is a very easy rating of 5 stars.

Have just read this to my 4 year old Granddaughter and her 2 year old brother. Both sat enthralled as I read on....
Lots of humour & laughs (mum in the bath, only a child sees that has being hillarious), the disaster and the awesome ending. It lead to great discussions about their garden. Hmmm.... maybe it's time I made a sharp exit; hope Dads shed is locked, there maybe a surprise in store tomorrow morning.
My Grandchildren said the story was great, amazing and a thumbs up!

Kids Will Dig This Story!
My grandson loved this story and I did, too. The illustrations were exceptional and the author made this imaginative story very entertaining. I learned from an incident when my son was young that boys love to dig holes, so I'll warn my grandson's mother to keep the shovels well-hidden. Fortunately she doesn't have a cat door!

Fun Book
This is a wonderful little adventure book written by someone who definitely has a wonderful imagination. The wonderful and highly colored pictures add to the charm of this book. I found myself wish the place really want existed and that I was Casey's friend.

Kids will love this clever, creative, fun, imaginative story.
A little boy decides to dig a hole in his yard.
All kinds of wonderful things end up in the hole.
Until, one day, disaster strikes.
Children will enjoy the fun twist at the end.

A fun fantastical read written by the author and his children.

Full of imagination!
A wonderfully depicted tale! A child's solution to a boring-old normality, brought in to being through effort - I wholeheartedly recommend it!
