What to expect
Mount Vesuvius is erupting! Ash is falling like snow and thirteen-year-old Fabia knows something is terribly wrong. Will she escape Pompeii in time to survive this epic disaster?
This book is part of the Against The Odds series, a captivating series of fictional - but inspired by true events - Hi-Lo chapter books tailored for striving listeners aged 10–14. Each title in this collection unravels the extraordinary experiences of young people overcoming incredible challenges. Whether it’s facing the unknown or triumphing against the odds, these stories are both riveting and inspiring.
The series is carefully written with a focus on morphology. Against the Odds: Pompeii focuses on multiple common noun suffixes.
