This is the first posting about the book 'under the mountain' by Maurice Gee. It is New Zealand book written for children and has now become a classic. This means that it has been read by lots of students and has even been made into a TV series and a movie.

Room 17 have just finished reading the prologue - this is the part of the book that sets the scene. Under the mountain is a book written in the narrative style, so please post your blog comment on what have you found out so far about;

a) The setting ?

b) The characters ?
