Every kid tries to do this, and this book is about what it would
look like if you succeeded. A great introduction to science. When you
get "...through the red-hot magma you will need a jet-propelled
submarine. It must have a super cooling system, a fireproof skin and a
drill at the top of it's nose." This page has a fascinating blueprint
of such a submarine. Our (then) 7 year old asked to hear this one twice in one
sitting, and several times throughout the week.
