INTERMEDIATE FICTION
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Brian Williams. While pursuing his hobby of underground exploration, fourteen-year-old Will and his best friend are taken prisoner in the oppressive Colony, policed by the sinister, merciless Styx. The innovative underworld setting will stimulate readers' imaginations, but while adventure-lovers will appreciate the twisting plot, they may lose patience with the slow beginning and endless similes. Occasional shadowy, sketchlike illustrations accompany the text.
