But that͛s nothing compared to the terror that awaits them in The Headmaster͛s Cave, when the mystery is finally revealed. Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Goodreads
My Review: Fun characters that readers can connect with. Great adventure that hooks readers. Lots of danger that keeps the readers turning the pages. I enjoyed going on this adventure with George, Katie, and Dougie. As George and Katie search for Dougie, they run into many dangers like a pack of dogs and bullies. Once they are taken to the cave by an evil man, the kids face many more dangers. Did George really see the White Lady? The children learn the truth about the past and solve the mystery of the cave. I received this book free for a honest review.

"...In the end the truth about The Headmaster's Cave and the events surrounding it will come as a surprise - but not until chapters of thrilling adventures, self-examination, and challenging encounters spice a read designed to draw in even the more reluctant reader, providing a vivid story that explains some events but leaves the door open for further adventures." ~ D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
