Book excerpt: The story of a volcano’s eruption, as it’s never been told before! Here’s a step-by-step story of a volcanic eruption — from the volcano’s point of view! Readers meet the volcano as it placidly slumbers. But then, hot magma moves into a chamber beneath it. Steam and gas spew out. The magma and gases rise up, ready to escape. Finally, the volcano shouts, “I’m awake!” as lava, hot rocks, and billows of ash erupt out of its vents with a roar. Hiss, gurgle, sputter, growl! Who knew being a volcano could be so exciting? A perfect pick for budding volcanologists — or any kid who can’t resist a good kaboom!
