By Stephen Adams, Arts Correspondentat The Telegraph

Tunnels, by Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams, (Scholastic), has been snapped up by the film investment company behind '3.10 to Yuma', starring Russell Crowe, and 'The Spiderwick Chronicles'.
Barry Cunningham - who published JK Rowling's Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone after she had suffered numerous refusals - helped arrange the deal with Relativity Media.
Now the co-authors are looking forward to seeing a big-budget version of their novel, which follows the adventures of Will Burrows, a 10-year-old boy who finds a secret world in a series of tunnels beneath the garden of his suburban London home.
