This book is interesting. It shows something which happened in Pompeii (a town in Italy). Pompeii looked peaceful! (I saw in the pictures.) But the mountain was really a volcano. I felt sad and I pitied the people in Pompeii when I learned about what happened when the volcano erupted. The giant was waking up! Everyone began to scream. :( People’s homes were destroyed by the ash which fell from the sky. They had to get out of Pompeii. The ashes fell on Pompeii for two days. Then it was over.

I like this book because this is a true story. People of Pompeii did not know there was a volcano so when it erupted people did not know what to do.They ran to the lake and the people in the big house got in a boat. The people on the other side of the bay watched and the boy that was on the other side of the bay wrote letters. Nobody knows when it will erupt again. Scientists found holes in the ground and they were bodies.

I loved this book. I think it was a really good book. People died and they did not know they were going to die. People had slaves. People died because they did not know hot lava was coming for them.

Great book, my 6 year old enjoyed it too. Very informative but "light". Great before and after the Pompeii Exhibit at Boston Museum of Science 2011.
