A brilliant story by Susan Gates! In the story two children (Ellis and Meriel) are sent out on loads of thrilling adventures and in one of these terrifying missions they could end up in a giant spider’s stomach. The famous explorer Jack Nelson has decided to build a dome in the waste lands and stay in it for a month but Ellis and Meriel have found out something bad, very bad. They need to get into this dome to help. A page-turner, an absolute thriller, descriptions that sound so real, amazing. I would recommend this book to eight and nine-year-olds. * Reviewed by George Martin, aged 9, in Flapjack Magazine *
