YA book: Boy and dog get sucked under a mountain when they fall into a stream. Treasure. Man living inside of mountain helps them escape. Read 2006-2012.

I read this when I was a kid- so between 2006 and 2012. The boy lived in a house on top of a rock. They always had to replace their appliances because the house would get struck by lightening.

The boy falls into a stream and the dog jumps in after him. They get stuck in a net under the mountain and a man pulls them out. He is his dads friend maybe? They live under there until they plan their escape. They come out of a root cellar under the house that is filled with jars of honey.

Kirkus Review:

- "Eleven-year-old Tom Hammond is not happy with his mother’s choice of a possible future fiancé; Mr. Veatch is not only a teacher, but he’s pretty gross. One night, Tom just wants to get away from the house and his mother for awhile, but he ends up stuck in an underground cave with a dead man and an injured dog. Using the dead man’s headlamp, Tom looks for a way out and ends up finding history, personal and national. Meanwhile, Elizabeth, his mother, is certain her son is alive. She tries to get help, but the only people willing to “help” are unscrupulous treasure seekers. Tom not only escapes the caves with the dog and a new friend, he also helps to save his mother from Mr. Veatch and the treasure hunters. ..."
