I read this first book and at first it was really interesting but as the plot went on it became boring and the characters were poorly developed. I wish the story had continued the way it started but unfortunately I was disappointed with this book.

A book that I read as a teenager, which I had to buy again to re-read, since I loaned it to my girlfriend, several days before breaking up over text and losing several of my possessions permanently. I recall that it was better at the time I had read it, than when I re-read it, but it was still interesting to see what I may have missed as a child (little).
In short, it is about a boy going underground to find his missing father, who had disappeared after finding an odd, permanently glowing globe and was trying to find out where it came from.
I???d recommend reading this if you???re a bit younger, maybe a teen, as I was and have a passing interest in underground digs, odd subterranean architecture and its even odder inhabitants.
