I am a teacher, and I used this book as a read aloud for my 4th grade class. This was the first book that EVERYONE was into. They would beg me to read a page or two whenever we had a free minute. It was so fun to see how excited they were to listen to this book. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good mystery.

My 8 year old boy loved this book. It held his interest so much he had it read within a day.

I think I read this book 10-15 times as a kid. Never got old.

Although I am biased about the author, because he was the Prinbcipal of my Elementary School, I have to say this was one of my favorite stories when I was a little girl!

It is very engaging, exciting and mysterious... just scarey enough to keep young boys (& girls) interest, without being too much. Now that I work at a small private school, I am ordering several copies for my 3rd and 4th graders classroom libraries.

I can't wait to have a group discussion with these kids after they read the book!

If you like exciting books about danger, then you will love this book.This book is about a boy's grandpa who was murdered because he knew something about a lost treasure.Gary (the boy) and his best friend, Brian, want to find the murderer. When Gary was taken away without warning, Brian and his unexpected friend, Mrs. Becker, must find him.In the moment of peril, only then will they find Gary and find out who the murderer is.

The book is divided up into several exciting chapters. Every two chapters there is a mini cliff hanger that keeps your interest. The students also enjoy the decriptive language that that helps even the poorest reader get a picture in their mind as to what it going on.

Trapped In Death Cave is in my opinion the best book ever written for kids at the age 10 years and up level!!! and when I say up is because I first bought this book back in 1987 when i bought it at the book fair. I enjoyed the book so much that i make sure I have at least 2 or 3 on havd to let other kids read. I still read it at least once a year and I'm 33 years old. What can I say, the book is a keeper. Now my kids have enjoyed the thrill and edge of your seat that a kids book should have!!!!

I enjoyed reading Trapped in Death Cave. It is a mystery book and I like mysteries. Gary, Brian and Mrs. Becker get trapped in the cave by Odie Wilson, who wants the gold hidden there all to himself. Everyone thinks Mrs. Becker is a witch but when she ends up saving the lives of two boys they have a party for her. Then they close off the cave so no one will go back.

I would recommend this book to kids under the age 12.

I read this book to my fourth grade classes at the beginning of every school year. They moan when I have to stop for the day. Many of them even come to school just so they can find out what's happening with Gary and Brian. This story is a great motivational tool for boys and girls alike.
