that little one is something else, isn't she? Nice continuation from your other chapters. Well written with good imagery and detail, and nice descriptions. If I may, there is a possible spelling typo, but I'm not sure:
This was going to mess with their imaging things. Where the girls ascended, Tommy and his companions were descending. They viewed the openings and tunnels from different perspectives.
Should "imaging "be "imagining "?

Well done. Keep writing. Hugs.

    Thank you for your involved review. As I think about the use of the words, image and imagine, I read that imagine involves all of the senses. So it would be much better here. Thank you.

I have read the earlier chapter. The story moves well into this chapter. I find the description of the falls and the adventures of the two young ladies interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for sharing this chapter. This description of the falls and their adventure there reminds me of a Hardy Boys mystery. It is interesting and makes me want to read more chapters.

    Thank you for review with your comparison of my writing and my favorite mystery books along with Nancy Drew. This a back story continued from a few previous chapters 29 & 30 where Spring Blossom at 6 years old rescued Tommy & her brother. You are welcome to read these or any chapters in my portfolio. There is no need to review them. Just enjoy. Almost every chapter of this book is suspenseful. The 1st thirteen chapters are about Liz & Linda rescuing ten teens from a trafficking operation.

Liz,

I like how the young girl saved the day. I'm a bit confused here:
This little six-year-old pipsqueak was outshining all three of us." (in your author notes, Spring Blossom is a teen, but here she's six-years old. Is this backstory?)

This was going to mess with their imaging things (I don't understand this sentence.)

    Thank you for your involved review. Yes, this is a back story continued from a few previous chapters 29 & 30 where she rescued them. You are welcome to read these or any chapters in my portfolio. There is no need to review them. Just enjoy.

    "This was going to mess with their imaging things" Everything was going to be backwards. Liz & Linda entered the cave at the other end with 10 teens they rescued from a trafficking operation. Spring Blossom at the age of about 16 led everyone through the cave because she's been going through it since she was 6. She was 6 the first time she, her brother & Tommy who were 16 at the time travel through. Tommy is telling about his harrowing experiences. The 1st thirteen chapters are about Liz & Linda rescuing ten teens from a trafficking operation. Spring Blossom was one of the girls. Feel free to read any of them.

What a great picture, when I looked at it I could actually hear the rush and roar of the falls. An amazing continuation chapter, Liz, you managed to pull it all together before they made it to Billings for the festival. Fantastic job.

hello
Sorry I've been away, I'm on a writing course and it is a bit full on!

You are a great story teller, please keep up with this. I think it has a place, for others to read, and to think.

I like how you had Spring Blossom be a key member of Tommy's journey in the cave and that explains how she was vital to the group that Liz and Linda were in. It's good that the two journeys could be compared this way.

Excellent storytelling as always Liz even to someone who hasn't followed the trials and tribulations of the girls from the beginning of their adventure. The reference to their native American names is done with respect. Waiting for the next chapter. Sincerely Anne

Wow, what you are describing is magical and a cave with a waterfall wall. I know how wonderful.it feels because I have behind a waterfall fortune it's like I have been in Paradise. I know this is not the purpose of this chapter but I like the idea.

    Thank you for your involved review. Wow, you've been behind a waterfall? Or even that close to a waterfall. I did want to elicit wonder of a different sort about the falls. You have definitely enhanced my hopes. Thank you.
