Reviews

"A ground-shaking, pulse-pounding journey to the Earth's core and back (with a few side trips along the way). In typically grandiloquent tones--"We shall be...WORMING TO the CENTER OF THE EARTH!"--froggy explorer Albert Hopper invites Junior Science Heroes (and niece and nephew) Polly and Tad on a voyage of danger and discovery aboard aptly named mechanical drill Wiggles . . . . Will leave readers eager to...GO AGAIN!" --Kirkus Reviews
