Thomas looked in and saw pitch darkness. He leaned forward and fell about four feet when the Darrow boy probably knew about the fall and didnt mention a word about it. Thomas finds his way to the kitchen in his house through the secret passageway. After dinner, he goes out to explore. He finds a mysterious man walking in the forest. He follows the man, until they finally reach a cave. The mysterious man figures out Thomas followed him, then starts chasing Thomas. Thomas finally reaches the house and goes in.

I like Mr.Small, because he knows a lot and taught me some social studies.


    
I like this book, because it is confusing at first, but fits together when I keep reading. If you like mystery, this book is for you.
