"A twisty mystery full of dead ends and dark passages for readers to explore, Cave-In thrills from page one to its earth-shattering climax." -- Michael F. Stewart, award-winning author of Heart Sister and Seeking Draven "With impeccable research and descriptive writing, Withers has created a novel that is full of tension and adrenalin. The 'caving' element is so unique and interesting, especially in a teen setting. And then there's the mystery to the story that adds another dimension! Well done, Pam." -- Lorna Schultz Nicholson, author of When You Least Expect It and Taking The Ice , and a voracious reader and writer of any-kind-of-sport book " Cave-In opens up and explores a world that exists right below our feet. Hudson's relatable teenage ambitions and rivalries are expertly balanced against larger issues of conservation, ecology and personal responsibilities. Withers presents scientific facts accessibly so that even an author who refused to take science classes after grade ten (such as me) could grasp and understand.

Cave-In will pull readers in as easily as one of the sinkholes within its pages." -- Paul Coccia, author of Leon Levels Up and co-author of On The Line.
