Under the bubbling hot springs and geysers of Yellowstone National Park is a supervolcano. Most people don't know it's there. The caldera is so large that it can only be seen from a plane or satellite. It just could be overdue for an eruption, which would change the landscape and climate of our planet. For Alex, being left alone for the weekend means having the freedom to play computer games and hang out with his friends without hassle from his mother. Then the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts, plunging his hometown into a nightmare of darkness, ash, and violence. Alex begins a harrowing trek to search for his family and finds help in Darla, a travel partner he meets along the way. Together they must find the strength and skills to survive and outlast an epic disaster.

Opening Line: I was home alone on that Friday evening. Those who survived know exactly which Friday I mean.Well this was super good. I picked up Ashfall and literally didnt stop reading for about 80 pages. I mean I didnt even move from where I was standing. The opening chapters are just unputtdownable, with each ending on a note like; then the explosions started or I took off running and When she pried the flap of flesh open with her pocketknife, I screamed and passed out so that you just have

When I looked at this title I kept thinking of that childhood chant, "...ashes, ashes we all fall down!" Well what you know that may not be so far from the truth.Alex is your normal teenage guy living in the suburbs in Iowa. He fights with his mom, and on his free time plays games and practices taekwondo. From what you can tell he doesn't particularly seem like a special teenager. He's kind of bratty and has a good life. Well Alex's parents and sister decide to visit family, and he fights to
**4.5 stars**I'm not much for survivalist kind of books but I loved this one. It scared the hell out me though - I'm really not ready for a situation like this. Thankfully, it's not bound to happen in my lifetime. :)This is the story of Alex, a typical teenager who has to grow up fast when he finds himself alone in the midst of the biggest natural disaster of his lifetime. He's separated from his family (by his own choice) and now that he doesn't have them, he finds that he misses them terribly.
