    About this ebook

    If you dug a hole to the other side of the earth, where do you think you would end up? In this wordless picture book, pictures tell Ben's story of a midnight journey through the center of the earth and the surprising journey home. Ben's mother has dropped him off for a visit with his grandmother, a woman with a penchant for baking. Ben feels lost and lonely until he discovers a chest full of mining gear. He embarks on an adventure that will make him grateful for the hundreds of pies stacked in his grandmother’s kitchen.

      I wanted to like this more than I did. It's not that it's *bad*; it's just not very good.
