Editorial Reviews
"In Cave Beneath the Sea, Edward Willett has created as exciting a read as the earlier books in the series, continuing to develop his characters and their relationships while the action-filled plot carries the reader to intriguing national and international locales . . It's hard for me to decide which is the stronger foundation for the story, the characters or the plot, as both are substantial and intricate." - Helen Kubiw, CanLit for Little Canadians
