Rating: Summary: Excellent and exciting adventure story Review: Excellent and exciting adventure story about 14 year old boy who journeys to Africa in search of his father, a wildlife biologist studying elephants in Kenya.Easy to read, fast paced, more oriented to conditions in Africa than to elephants specifically, it nevertheless gives considerable attention to the plight of elephants with respect to poaching. Cover recommends ages 10 and up. Quite suitable for adult reading.
Rating: Summary: Elephants, Elephants, Everywhere Review: Have you ever been to the African bush? If you have I bet you wouldn't have this full-sized adventure. Thunder Cave is an exciting realistic fiction by Ronald Smith. On the way lots of exhilarating things happen to him. On his journey he found: Supeet the Masai, Sitonik the Laibon and some poachers. After his mom died, Jacob lives with his step-father, who doesn't care about Jacobs real dad. However, Jacob can't live without telling his real dad that his mum has died. When his step-father leaves town he goes to a travel agent and books a flight to Nairobi. His step-father came back earlier than expected, so it was harder for Jacob to escape, but he managed it. One day when he was travelling down a long dusty roadside he saw a boy holding a spear, that boy was called Supeet who came from a Masai tribe. Later Supeet took Jacob to the Masai camp where they met Sitonik a Laibon. Like all Laibons, he had magic powers and could see into the future. Sitonik said that Supeet will end this drought and Jacob will have a hard journey. He then said, "Take these drums and go to Thunder Cave". Supeet and Jacob headed for Thunder Cave. Later they interfered with some poachers. Jacob was shot in the stomach by a bullet and Supeet went temporarily blind after a spitting cobra caught him with his venom. Jacob and Supeet then headed for thunder cave and when they got there Supeet started to tap a rhythm on the drums. Whilst Supeet was drumming, Jacob went out in search of food. Soon the poachers captured Jacob... I liked this book because Mr. Smith kept the action vivid until the very end of the story, making it very intense and exciting to read. He managed to create a cliff-hanger at the end of each and every chapter, which made a truly great book. Jacob found more than just his father in the Kenyan bush, that's why it was so hard to put down!
Rating: Summary: Thunder Cave Review: Have you ever lost a loved one? If so, then you know what Jacob Lansa feels like after his mom is hit by a car.After her funeral, Jacob makes plans to go to Kenya, where his father works as a field biologist. Once there, Jacob is robbed, beaten, nearly burned to death and captured by poachers as he tries with a Maasai man named Supeet to try and stop the drought and save the elephants. An overall good book, with a 1st person viewpoint. I enjoyed it,but, I think the reading level should at least be a 6.0.

Rating: Summary: Greatest book I have ever read and you will be glued to it!! Review: I am shocked on how the book comes together.It has lots of exciting moments and surprises. The level of this book is for 5-8 grade.The most intersting part of the book is when he goes out to see his dad in Kenya. I think that the saddest part of the book is when Jake's Mom is in the Hospital because of an accident.I hope you enjoy this book and that you will give it a great of five stars.
Rating: Summary: Thunder Cave Review: I like reading this book after the New York part. this book is an excellent book to read to a child or yourself, because the reading level is only 4.4 and that is great. the story takes place in Kenya, Africa but their are not that many american people their. the best part I like in the book is when they catch that donavan guy. I don't like this book that much but if you have never been to Africa before this is a good book to read.
Rating: Summary: The best book! Review: I loved this book! It is one of my favorites... I think that one of the reasons why its so great is because its believable. Jacob had a reasonable way of getting to Kenya, meeting Supeet, and finding elephants. The plot is intriguing and it keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. I REALLY think you should read it!
