Product Description

Product Description

Robert is alone, in a strange jungle. He has no food, no shelter, no warmth. Unfamiliar creatures are roaming about - and he's not even sure how he got there...Following the story of Robert's struggle for survival, through to his extraordinary realization of where he is and what has happened to him, and then to his perilous journey to find his way home, this is an incredible adventure story full of suspense and surprises. This builds on the great success achieved by Gillian Cross's previous novel "Calling a Dead Man". Gillian Cross is one of the UK's top children's authors, and has won every major children's book prize. She is highly acclaimed internationally.

5.0 out of 5 stars Move over Mr. Pullman?, 23 May 2004
By A Customer
This is one of those books that you will want to read in one sitting, and leave you eager to read the second part to this trilogy straight away. Although aimed at eleven year olds, I'm sure that there will be plenty of adults who will enjoy this book too. If you have not read it yet, I am not going to spoil the story. As you would expect with the multi-award winning Ms. Cross, The Dark Ground is superbly written. In fact, I believe that she has now transcended to that higher plane of pure genius occupied by the likes of Philip Pullman. My only gripe - which is a pity - is the awful hologram on the front of the dustcover. However, I'm not going to let this triviality detract from the fact that this book is worthy of the full five stars. An award winning novel? I'll go out and buy a hat to eat if it isn't!

5.0 out of 5 stars fantasy and adventure rolled into one, fantastic!, 24 Feb 2006
By A Customer
This is such an unusual adventure/fantasy story, it is gripping right from the start and you will not want to put it down until you have finished. Although it gradually dawned on me what had happened to Robert, it was still so surprising and written with such imagination, that I couldnt wait to read book 2 in this trilogy 'The Black Room' to find out what happened next.
