Book review - Trapped by Judy Knox

This story is about a girl called Paula who gets trapped in a mine shaft with her dog called Zak. 

Her family are looking for her, but in all the wrong places. 

It is a great story about the challenges she faces, and how she tries to get home. 

We would recommend this book for people aged 7+

It is a terrific book to read aloud.
