Thunder Cave is a young adult adventure novel by Roland Smith, first published by Hyperion Books in 1995.

After his mother dies in a car accident, fourteen-year-old Jacob Lansa embarks on a journey across the globe to Kenya to find his father.

Supeet believes that Jacob is in Kenya for other reasons than to find his father, which bides true after an accident that could end the chance to bring the long rains.

Weisman wrote, "Although the novel is longer than most for this age group, the action never flags, and Smith's focus on local color and vivid attention to detail will make readers feel they are participants in Jacob's experiences.

"The strong plot lends itself to reading aloud, and [Johnny] Heller's easy narrative style enhances both characters and storyline.
