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?

This was really nice to read, 10/10 would definitely recommend you show this book to somebody else.
This series makes learning about historical events really accessible to kids. I really liked this book. It was fast-paced and exciting and helped me to see what Pompeii may have been like. It left me wanting to learn more about the disaster!
this is one of my favorite i survived books. its about a boy named Marcus who is enslaved in Pompeii and is trying to find his dad. Marcus helped a old lady from falling in the croud, and then she told Marcus something spooky.
This is a great book! It is about a boy named Marcus surviving the Destruction of Pompeii. It teaches you that you should be kind, because Marcus was kind and the old woman told him something good.

I love this series! I am always excited when a new one comes out. This book focuses on Pompeii. I recently just saw the movie. Wouldn't it be awesome to go there? But what a tragedy.
