Book about digging to China

When I was a kid, I read this (fictional, of course) book about a little girl who dug a hole all the way through the Earth to China. What made it stick in my head is I remember trying to replicate what she did by digging a hole in the garden with my hands, but the dirt kept falling back in the little hole that I'd made so I gave up. I also remember

Is it Digging to China? http://www.amazon.com/Digging-China-Donna-Rawlins/dp/053105814X

That is a very good possibility. I know I read it several years before 1989, but this could be a reissued edition. If it does turn out that this book was called "Digging to China" all along and I still couldn't find it, I will kick myself. :D Thanks, I'll check this one out.

I don't know that book, but I do remember trying to dig to China with a bunch of classmates out in the school yard back in fourth or fifth grade. LOL

Not very. IIRC, the bell rang and we had to go back inside!
