(3) 4-6 Thirteen-year-old rural-Virginia boy Buck's best friend, David, has moved away; Buck is bullied at school for his stuttering problems; and, in typical preteen fashion, his family gets on his nerves. Buck's passion is caving, but a cruel prank quickly turns this hobby into a harrowing survival adventure. Naylor, as always, is deft at combining action, dialogue, and theme in a compelling package.
