The Destruction of Pompeii, AD 79

A bold graphic novel adaptation

of Lauren Tarshis's bestselling I Survived the Destruction of Pompeii, AD

79, with text adapted by Georgia

Ball and art by Dave Shephard.

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 huge cloud of ash and rocks

that fall from the sky like rain, will they have time to escape

– and survive the epic destruction of Pompeii?
