A review by private_reader
Maribel Versus the Volcano: A Mount St. Helens Survival Story by Sarah Hannah Gómez

5.0

A quick but gripping read about the eruption of Mt Saint Helen’s (Lawetlat’la) in 1980, an event I remember well!

I loved the inclusion of ADHD/ADD, asthma, Mexican culture, indigenous names and knowledge in this dramatic and quite scary adventure. This well researched book will entertain young readers but also expose them to numerous new concepts and issues for discussion. Includes extensive author notes and discussion questions. A fantastic choice especially for schools.
