Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
Journey to a prehistoric world at the center of the Earth in this science fiction classic by Jules Verne—now with an arresting new look!
When Axel’s uncle, Professor Liedenbrock, finds a coded journal describing a path into the center of the Earth, Axel hopes he’ll never be able to decipher it—because once the professor sets his mind to something, he’ll insist on carrying it out no matter the danger or difficulty. But when Axel himself ends up cracking the journal’s code, curiosity gets the better of him, and before he knows it, he and his uncle head to Iceland to find this secret route to unexplored territory.
After being joined by a local guide, Hans, the group descends into a volcano, where Axel is convinced they’ll find nothing noteworthy and face nearly certain death. Instead, what awaits is more incredible than any of the travelers could have anticipated.

“This was such a fun read! Being a Jules Verne book and an old classic I thought it might be a little difficult to understand the book, but it wasn't hard at all. I also loved a lot of the vocabulary Verne used. There were also times the writing was very descriptive and beautiful when describing the things the characters saw on this adventure. There were also times it got slow and I was little bored, but overall I enjoyed it and would read more of Verne's stories. The cover of this version is also a bit misleading, as it features a T-Rex on the cover, yet there is no T-Rex featured in the book. There are, however, other fantastic creatures. If you're in the mood for a fun, classic adventure then I highly recommend!”About Jules Verne
