Lost in the Secret Cave

Doyle, Peter. Lost in the Secret Cave. Colorado Springs, Colorado: Focus on the Family Publishing, 1996. 127 pages. (Mystery)

The main characters in this book are Penny, David, and Mark. This story takes place in Portugal. The problem they face is that they have found a secret cave on a high up cliff. They decide to explore it, and while they are in there, they run into some trouble with the people who made the cave. But these people are not just normal people, they are bad people who are stealing gold from a near by body of water. How they go about solving this problem is by running and scattering around in the cave away from the bad guys. But the question is, do they get out of the cave or do the bad guys get them first?

I thought that this book was very interesting and it had a lot of good action. Also I thought that in some parts Peter Doyle did a very good job of explaining and detailing each scene. The character who was most like me in the book would be Mark because he made a choice of either splitting away from David and Penny or getting caught. I thought that when he did this, it felt like something I would do.
