Reviews
School Library Journal
“Realistic drawings dominated by shades of gray and brown depict the clothing of the period and add clarification to the text for readers unfamiliar with caves, shafts, and lanterns. This adventure will appeal to beginning and reluctant readers.”
—School Library Journal
The Horn Book Magazine
“Ransom effectively conveys Arly’s frustration but refrains from turning his foolhardy act into a dramatic rescue and sticks with the historical conclusion of the event. Schofield’s watercolor illustrations on each page reflect the action and convey a strong sense of the historical setting and the antagonistic weather.”
