BOOK: Cave-in - by Duey & Bale

[Frederick Muller <fmuller@TELLURIAN.NET>]

Duey, K. and K.A. Bale._Cave-in [Survival series #7]_,1998
This is one of a series each of which deals with young people
facing a disaster.  In this one a girl pretends to be a boy so he can
stay home sick from the mine.  While there, there is a cave-in.
The first half of the book before the cave-in is just so-so and it can
be confusing at times because of the frequent use of mining
terminology.  This book cries out for a glossary.  Once the cave-in
happens -- wow!  The description of the darkness, the coal dust
chocked air, the rats, and the fear just grabbed me.  This 158 page
book is from a large series. I will try the one about the SF
earthquake next.
