exciting book for kids

This book starts out with a situation that fires the imagination of 4,5,6 grade kids. The book continues with many adventures in an underground world. Lots of scientific factual information is imbedded in the story. There is a helpful glossary in the back which is not overwhelming. The plot moves quickly from chapter to chapter so that one is compelled to read the next part. The illustrations are scattered throughout the book and enrich the text. I'm a public school librarian in New York City. I gave a book talk to the students in fourth and fifth grades with this book. Both the teachers and students were excited by it. A few teachers have chosen to use the book as a daily read aloud. I invited the author to visit the our school and discuss his work with the students. He was gracious enough to come and the students were fascinated with him as well as the information about his background and his craft. They are anxiously awaiting his next book.
