Tunnels

Fourteen-year-old Will Burrows lives with his parents and younger sister Rebecca in London. He has little in common with any of them, except for a passion for digging, which he shares with his father, a museum curator and doctor of archaeology. When his father suddenly disappears after a row with his mother, the police believe he has just gone away for a while to cool down. But Will is unconvinced, and decides to investigate with his best friend, Chester.

In his quest to find his father, Will is plunged even deeper underground. As if things weren't bad enough already he stumbles across a Styx plot with terrible implications for the world above and his murderous stepsister who isn't finished yet.

As he plummets down a subterranean void, it looks like the end for fourteen-year-old Will Burrows. But it's just the beginning of a terrifying new adventure in which he must face giant carnivorous spiders and the deadly Brights. And, much worse, twin Styx girls with a score to settle... The third exciting adventure in the fantastic Tunnels series from acclaimed authors Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams.

The Styx have surfaced... If you thought the Limiters were nasty, think again. This time it’s their females that provide the creepiest surprise. And all that stands in their way are Will and his friends - and a rag-bag team of retired commandos. It’s a smoking spiral of chaos…. The fifth fantastic adventure in the ‘Tunnels’ series for older children, from acclaimed authors Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams. Read by Paul Chequer.
