But their trip unexpectedly becomes truly, terribly adventurous when an encounter with two local bully-boys threatens to disrupt the fun.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Buried Alive! (Audio Cassette)

Buired alive was quite good, when you get into it you can't put the book down. Its about a boy and how his perants push him to do stuff but he doesn't really want to do it. I recommend this book for ages 9-12.
