About this ebook

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?

Ratings and reviews

The story is a bit short. Would like to know what happened to them after the eruption settled. Some adventures of the characters seem too fascinating to be true, but it was a different time and place. Would recommend to intermediate grade reader.
