Volcanic Disaster

The Volcano Disaster by Peg Kehret is one of the most exciting books I have ever read. Besides all the action packed into this book, it gives you the best facts on what happened on the day Mt.

Warren has no time for this, he wants to continue his grampa's invevtion called the Instant Commuter. It allows you travel throw space to get to a destination. For instance, you can go to New Jersey from Japan in a few seconds. But Warren doesn't know that his grampa's invention can go in time too! Betsy suprises Warren by finding his secret, the Instant Commuter.The invention sent him to the time when Mt. Saint Helens errupts! There's one major problem He can't go back, why, I'm not telling.

Good book! Must read.

I liked Peg Kehret's book The Volcano Disaster because Warren had the instant commuter that his grandpa had made. He touched Betsy's picture and was blasted back in time. You should read this book if you want to see what happens!

Cool book!

Warren Spalding isn't happy to be working with Betsy Spalding. But the teacher of his natural disasters class assigned the two to work together on a report on the eruption of Mount St. Helen's on May 18, 1980. When the two are working together, Warren is trying to work his late grandfather's invention to travel through time when he accidentally ends up on Mount St. Helen's when it's about to erupt. Worst of all, he left the time machine - called the Instant Communter - in the present. The only way Warren can be saved is if Betsy figures out how to work the machine, travels to 1980, and finds Warren. Can Betsy get to Mount St. Helen's before the volcano erurpts? Read this exciting page-turner to find out. Once I started it, I couldn't put it down!
