Good but not great

This book is about a boy named Matthew who recently moved to a new complex. One morning while his parents are out shopping he wanders across two boys (Alex and Ken) smashing a hole in a block of concrete when he asks what they are doing they tell him that they are making a home for Alex who has no parents. The boys invite him to help make the cave. Over the next few days the work on the tunnel digging deeper and deeper until they have it to the their liking. Alex jumps into the cave and the floor collapses... Don't get me wrong this book is written really well the author even does the pages where the guys are in the tunnel in black with white print. But the reason I gave it four stars was the fact that the story seemed as if it had been jammed in the 90 pages that made up the book. If you don't mind that I would read this book.
