Journey to the Centre of the Earth by Jules Verne
An ancient book is opened by the eccentric Professor Lidenbrock and his life - and the life of his nephew Axel - is changed for ever. An old piece of paper has tumbled from the book, a priceless parchment that will lead them on a terrifying journey to find what lies at the centre of the Earth. A timeless adventure, brilliantly introduced by the late Diana Wynne Jones, one of Britain's top fantasy and sci-fi writers for children.
“The reason Verne is still read by millions today
is simply that he was one of the best storytellers
who ever lived”—Arthur C. Clarke
