Tunnels Of Terror

About this ebook
Luke and James are nine-year-old twin brothers. Being lost in the dark is not on their list of things to do. They would prefer not to share their sleeping bags with a snake. And they don’t want to spend their school holidays with their eccentric Aunt Lucy, in the middle of nowhere. The boys face daunting and exciting challenges when they find themselves lost and alone in pitch-black tunnels and caves inhabited by spiders, lizards, bats and glow worms. They will need to face their deepest fears and draw strength and courage from places deep within themselves. This is an adventure story about being bad-mannered, self-centred and scared, and also about being friendly, considerate and courageous. It’s about finding the best part of yourself and liking who you discover yourself to be. This story is a page turner for young people getting into their first novels.

Chapter 1. Unexpected unwelcome!
Luke and James got off the train and looked around. They were the only people on the platform. Well, no great welcome from the Nut Job,
sneered Luke, using his favourite name for his aunt. You’d think she’d at least pretend to be happy to see us.
He felt uneasy as he watched the train pull out of the station. Well, now what?
he grumbled, breaking the silence. I’m not walking up to Devil’s Cliff. She had better get here soon.
Meanwhile, James had wandered over to the noticeboard. There was an envelope with bright pink lettering stapled to the board.
Luke and James,
he read aloud. He pulled the envelope off the board. Luke snatched it out of his hand and ripped it open.
Listen to this!
said Luke in disgust. He read the note aloud in a silly voice.
Hi boys!
If you’re reading this note, it means that I’ve had car trouble. I’ll be there as soon as I can, but it’s probably a good idea to start walking. Just a short walk up Devil Drive and sharp right into Stony Creek Corner at the gravestone. We’re at the end on the left. You can’t miss the homestead.
Love and kisses, Aunt Lucy.
P.S. Phone reception here is non-existent mostly, so I can’t call you. See you soon.
Luke ended with loud kissing noises.
Great!
said James, sarcastically.
I’m not walking up that road with my heavy backpack,
shouted Luke, looking up at Devil Drive. She can come and get us. This stinks! What if something happened to us? We’re her guests.
Maybe Mum told her how nice we’ve been lately and she’s scared off already!
said James, the corner of his mouth turning up. We have been pretty intense.
Exactly what they deserved,
spat Luke, thinking of the school bullies who had made Grade Four so miserable.
"How about we head up the hill? I guess
