Classic Starts (R): Journey to the Center of the Earth: Journey to the Center of the Earth

A thoughtfully-written series of abridged classics, each of which has been rewritten to accommodate the reading and interest levels of children in the second through fourth grades who are simply too young to tackle larger, unabridged volumes. Includes book club questions and an afterword for parents and teachers by a noted educator.
Professor Hardwigg, his nephew Harry, and their guide Hans explore a volcanic crater in Iceland that leads them to the center of the Earth and to incredible and horrifying discoveries.
Go down the crater of the volcano Snaefells. Follow the shadow just before the month of July. You will find your way to the center of the Earth. I did it.” That mysterious message propels a young man and his uncle on the adventure of a lifetime: to a prehistoric world below the earth where dinosaurs and other creatures roam. Jules Verne's classic fantasy will enchant a new generation of readers.
