(4) 4-6 Aspiring explorers Ian and Theodosia, orphans in 1930s England, discover they're destined to fight evil after a cave exploration brings hellhounds to their door. The novelty of a nurturing orphanage and the meshing of Greek mythology and a pre-WWII political landscape are interesting, but extensive explanatory dialogue drags down the plot.
