I Survived the Destruction of Pompeii, Ad 79 (I Survived #10): Volume 10

The beast beneath the mountain is restless...   No one in the bustling city of Pompeii worries when the ground trembles beneath their feet. The beast under the mountain Vesuvius, high above the city, wakes up angry sometimes -- and always goes back to sleep. But Marcus is afraid. He knows something is terribly wrong -- and his father, who trusts science more than mythical beasts, agrees. When Vesuvius explodes into a cloud of fiery ash and rocks fall from the sky like rain, will they have time to escape -- and survive the epic destruction of Pompeii?Author: Lauren TarshisPublisher: Scholastic Inc.Published: 08/26/2014Pages: 112Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 0.15lbsSize: 7.40h x 5.20w x 0.40dISBN: 9780545459396Audience: Ages 9-12Accelerated Reader:Reading Level: 5.1Point Value: 2Interest Level: Middle GradeQuiz #/Name: 169148 / I Survived: The Destruction of Pompeii, Ad 79Review Citation(s): Kirkus Reviews 08/15/2014 pg. 212About the AuthorLauren Tarshis's New York Times bestselling I Survived series tells stories of young people and their resilience and strength in the midst of unimaginable disasters and times of turmoil.
