Inhaltsangabe

Most ten-year-olds don’t need a lava shield to leave the house. Veronica does.

Growing up on an active volcano, Veronica is used to flying rocks, eruption drills, and rides in her family’s Lava Car. Finding a birthday gift for her mother should be simple.

Except the rare white volcano pearls she wants lie on the far side of Mount Mystery.

With her best friend Maddy and their fathers, Veronica sets off through caves and jungles, past poisonous geysers, and into the path of pirates and powerful eruptions. But an old jeweler’s warning follows her: beware the Man in White.

Soon, the pearls are the least of her worries. With her town in danger and fear taking hold, Veronica faces a challenge no lava shield can solve: finding the courage to stand up for what’s right when the adults around her are afraid.

Veronica and the Volcano is an illustrated adventure novel for readers ages 9–12, combining real earth science with ingenious gadgets, friendship, and family. Gabrielle Shamsey’s illustrations bring the volcanic world to life, while a scientific glossary helps curious readers explore the ideas behind the adventure.

For readers who love daring quests—and a heroine who thinks for herself.
