K-3Carolrhoda On My Own Books series.
Illustrated by
Den Schofield.
In 1925, an experienced spelunker was trapped while exploring Crystal Cave in Kentucky. Ransom introduces young Arly Dunbar--a fictional character who hopes his small size will help him find his friend Floyd in the caves--but commendably sticks with the historical conclusion of the event. Schofield's illustrations on each page reflect the action and convey a strong sense of the setting.
