Disaster Strikes: Volcano Blast Written by Marlane Kennedy & illustrated by Erwin Madrid
Noah and Emma Burton have traded the sand and surf of their Hawaiian home for a chilly stay in Alaska, and Noah isn’t happy about it. His father might be a volcano expert, but they didn’t have to travel to the coldest, grayest place on Earth when there are so many volcanoes near Honolulu! Noah thinks he’s in for the most boring vacation of his life, but he couldn’t be more wrong. A day trip to a remote island turns deadly when a once- dormant volcano suddenly roars to life in an eruption of epic proportions. Now Noah, Emma, and their new neighbor Alex must fight to survive rivers of molten lava and clouds of toxic ash if they want to make it off the island!
