Fiery VolcanoThe Eruption of Mount St. HelensSeries: Disasters—People in PerilBy Carmen Bredeson DetailsDetails ReviewsReviews From his observation point just five miles from Mount St. Helens, geologist David Johnston said "This is it!" before his radio went dead. Johnston watched the volcano explode. His body was never found. During the violent eruption on May 18, 1980, the volcano released tons of rock and debris along with scorching steam and poisonous gas. Volcanic ash soared miles into the air, before covering roads and towns. Fifty-seven people died during the eruption, and it forever changed the landscape of the mountain. Author Carmen Bredeson examines the causes and effects of the Mount St. Helens eruption and gives firsthand stories from victims and survivors.Publication Date: 07/01/2012Copyright: 2013Pages: 48Trim Size: 7 1/2 x 9Illustrations: Illus. with black-and-white and color photographsGrade Level: 5–9Age Level: 10–14LC Number: 2011037673Lexile: 1020ATOS Reading Level: 6.2ATOS Points: 1Quiz #: 152864AR Interest Level: MGDewey: 551.2109797 For Reluctant ReadersFormatsFormatISBNList PriceDiscount PriceLibrary Bound Book978-0-7660-4015-1$26.27$19.70eBook978-0-7660-4394-7$26.27$19.70 ". . . a very good addition to elementary level libraries."TriState Young Adult Book Review Committee, September 2012"The quality of these short titles is good, and the informational texts are written in a way that lend themselves to a cover-to-cover read."School Library Journal, December 2012 Loading… Other books in Disasters—People in Peril 1 Loading… Other books from the authors 12345 Loading… eBook: 978-0-7660-4394-7 List Price: $26.27 Discount Price: $19.70 + Add to wish list Library Bound Book: 978-0-7660-4015-1 List Price: $26.27 Discount Price: $19.70 + Add to wish list Please log in Log in or register to create a wish list.
