Hello everyone! You may remember when I posted an image of The Groundworld Heroes, a debut middle grade novel by Stone Soup Book Award finalist Adrian So, to my Instagram, Threads and Twitter in April 2024. In those posts, I announced that I was invited to review an advance reading copy of the book ahead of its release date by Monarch Educational Services. And with the book coming out today, I am happy to share my review! Be sure to get it wherever books are sold! Below is the book’s synopsis:
“An original voice and a fun, funny adventure underground.” – Adam Rex, NYT Bestselling Author of THE TRUE MEANING OF SMEKDAY
When Groundworld is on the brink of extinction, it takes one mole with courage to save the day.
When Benjamin, a junior mole digger, witnesses a human invasion of his homeland, he must find his long-lost courage and unite two culturally distinct realms to fight the intruders and save his kind from extinction. What perils lie before him as he ventures into the unknown? Can Benjamin go up against a rough bunch of illegal animal trappers before it’s too late?
Meet the Groundworld heroes as they defend their country’s sovereignty and save their fellow citizens from capture and extinction.
For fans of Kate Dicamillo and Roald Dahl, you’ll love the heart and storytelling as you dig deep into Adrian So’s underground adventure.
