"Times are simpler in the 1980s. Terry, Gary, and Larry love their maple tree, their boat called the London, and the friendly face of the St. Joseph River. Gary finds comfort on the river, where he can use his upper body strength to row, and almost forget about his wooden leg and lost dreams. But nothing is simple when Mom spots suspicious characters in the empty house next door and suggests it may be time to move away. And nothing is easy when Dad and Mom assign the boys a summer project to learn about the fruit of the Spirit. Terry, Gary, and Larry set out to investigate the strange characters and prove that their neighborhood is safe. But then, the detective work backfires. --Back cover.

Book Synopsis

A fun-filled place to grow up. When their folks say they may have to move, can a trio of boys step up to save the day?

Indiana, 1987. Gary Fitzpatrick refuses to let his wooden leg slow him down. And though his dream of becoming a firefighter has gone up in smoke, the young cancer survivor still loves playing alongside his two supportive brothers. But after their mom's fear of shady strangers in an abandoned house next door threatens to uproot their world, he vows to prove the neighborhood is perfectly safe.

As he starts making plans, the thirteen-year-old is surprised when an eccentric antique dealer asks for help finding the owner of a clock. And when the odd man hands over a map with lines interconnecting the homes in the area, Gary suspects it's showing old underground passageways and sees an opportunity to solve the puzzle.

Deciding not to tell their parents of the mysterious plot, will Gary and his siblings' choices cost them their lives?

Trapped in the Tunnel is the charming first book in The Brady Street Boys Adventure Series. If you like Christian themes, strong family values, and triumphing over adversity, then you'll adore Katrina Hoover Lee's enthralling tale.

I liked this book because it was very exciting and because I love mysteries. I also think the fruit of the Spirit project was kinda neat and the events in the book were pretty real-to-life.
