“Go down the crater of the volcano Snaefells. Follow the shadow just before the month of July. You will find your way to the center of the Earth. I did it." That mysterious message, found in a long-lost letter, propels a young man and his uncle on the adventure of a lifetime: to a prehistoric world below the earth where dinosaurs and other strange creatures still roam. Jules Verne's classic fantasy will enchant a new generation of readers.

This inexpensive condensed version of Jules Verne's classic sci-fi adventure competently delineates plot points. However, the retelling sacrifices complexity of language and depth of theme in the name of age-appropriateness. Occasional black-and-white illustrations highlight suspenseful scenes and help depict the journey. Discussion questions and a "Note to Parents and Educators" are appended.(Copyright 2012 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston. All rights reserved.)
