THE DESTRUCTION OF POMPEII, AD 79

by Lauren Tarshis

www.scholastic.com

THE DE

STRUCTION

OF POMPEII,

AD 79

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?

TH E N E W Y O R K TI M E S B E S T S E L L I N G S E R I E S

Do you have what it takes to survive?

THREATENED

Into the jungle. Into the wild.

Into harm’s way.

When he was a boy, Luc’s mother would warn him about the

“mock men” living in the trees by their home — chimpanzees

whose cries filled the night.

Luc is older now, his mother gone. He lives in a house of

mistreated orphans, barely getting by. Then a man calling himself

Prof comes to town with a mysterious mission. When Luc tries to

rob him, the man isn’t angry. Instead, he offers Luc a job.

Together, Luc and Prof head into the rough, dangerous jungle in

order to study the elusive chimpanzees. There, Luc finally finds a

new family — and must act when that family comes under attack.

As he did in his acclaimed novel Endangered, a finalist for the

National Book Award, Eliot Schrefer takes us somewhere fiction

rarely goes, introducing us to characters we rarely get to meet. The

unforgettable result is the story of a boy fleeing his present, a man

fleeing his past, and a trio of chimpanzees who are struggling not

to flee at all.
