Students, kids, and life-long readers,
What is your biggest fear? One of my biggest fears is to be trapped in a small space, and this book opened that fear. I don't think I will be entering a cave in a long time after reading this adventure about Bucky.
Bucky and his best friend Dave live in the back country of Virgina and have developed a love of exploring caves. Just as Dave is about to move, Bucky discovers a hidden cave that has never been explored called the hole. With Dave gone, Bucky is risking much to explore it on his own, and he has the summer to figure out how achieve this mission.
But that is not all. Bucky struggles with a serious stuttering problem that leads to bully issues and worry for the family. An unexpected connection with Bucky's uncle may be the one who can help Bucky's stuttering in an unsual manner.
This book has many sides plots and great selection of characters that continually interact with Bucky. The writing style of the cave exploration was so vivid that is increased my fear of small spaces and caves.
If you are looking for an adventure book and enjoy the idea of cave exploring this would be a great book for you.
