Caught in a tunnel collapse, Liam and Imogen have to use all their wits to survive in this gripping novel for readers eight years and up. Wright Family Foundation Esther Glen Award for Junior Fiction 2023 When you stood deep inside the tunnel, you could hear the mountain groaning overhead. That''s what Liam Geary''s father had told him, anyway. It sounded stupid, till you stood inside a big tunnel; felt those billions of tonnes pressing in from above and the sides; heard water dripping from ceilings, or even trickling like something''s blood behind the concrete walls; sensed the blackness that lay beyond the TBM''s blazing lights as it ground its slow way through the stone ahead. Then you knew that a major tunnel like the Puketapu was a place of power, somehow; that darkness and danger lurked all around. When Liam dares his classmate Imogen to come on a forbidden tour of the railway tunnel being drilled through a nearby mountain, he hopes she’ll quit protesting about it damaging the environment — his dad is an engineer working on the tunnel, after all. Just as they reach the huge tunnelling machine everything goes horribly wrong. When the rocks stop falling and the dust settles, they are trapped, kilometres below ground, in the dark. Water is trickling in and beginning to rise. And nobody knows where they are. Can they stop arguing and start working together to escape before time runs out?

PRAYING BEFORE I go to sleep at night has been a habit since childhood. The night I thought of writing this book I prayed, God help me have good dreams and good thoughts as I sleep tonight. That is a prayer I have prayed ever since I was a child growing up. During the night I started thinking of ways we should raise our children, and how they need to be prepared for life. I told myself, I should write a book about this: ways to raise a successful child. I was afraid I would forget this idea by morning, so I arose at 3:00 AM and went to the kitchen to start writing down my ideas. I began to consider just what would be my definition of a successful child or adult. I realized that it depends on whose point of view we are coming from. The world defines success quite differently from God. The world would say it is to be rich and famous. However, since we are made in the image of God, it seems only logical that we should be a reflection of Him in our daily lives.
