Short Desription

Many visitors to Yellowstone National Park don''t realize that the boiling hot springs and spraying geysers are caused by an underlying supervolcano. It has erupted three times in the last 2.1 million years, and it will erupt again, changing the Earth forever.

Fifteen-year-old Alex is home alone when the supervolcano erupts. His town collapses into a nightmare of darkness, ash, and violence, forcing him to flee. He begins a harrowing trek in search of his parents and sister, who were visiting relatives 140 miles away.

Along the way, Alex struggles through a landscape transformed by more than a foot of ash. The disaster brings out the best and worst in people desperate for food, clean water, and shelter.  When an escaped convict injures Alex, he searches for a sheltered place where he can wait--to heal or to die. Instead, he finds Darla. Together, they fight to achieve a nearly impossible goal: surviving the supervolcano.

With nonstop action, a little romance, and realistic science, debut author Mike Mullin tells a mesmerizing story. Readers will turn Ashfall''s pages breathlessly, and continue to ponder Alex and Darla''s fate long after they close the book.

Advance Praise:

"Mike Mullin''s Ashfall glows and throbs with everyday life and the business of survival in a dystopic future, after an unthinkable disaster." Richard Peck, Newbery Medal winning author of A Year Down Yonder and Three Quarters Dead.

"The scariest apocalypse is one that could really happen. Mike Mullin''s Ashfall is way too real for comfort: you''ll live the panic and despair and know that all of this could really happen. It will be a long time before you get the taste of volcanic ash out of your mouth. This isn''t fantasy, this is real." Michael Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Gone, Lies, Hunger, and Plague.

"Mike Mullin catapults readers into a surreal, cataclysmic world that will hold them until the last page. If you aren''t exhausted by the end of the first thirty pages, you may want to check your pulse. Ashfall is the perfect book for reluctant teen readers who ''can never find anything good to read.''" Dave Richardson, book reviewer for the International Reading Association''s Reading Today, and children''s literature professor at Cincinnati State College.

"This is riveting. Fans of post-apocalyptic thrillers like The Hunger Games will love Ashfall." Cinda Williams Chima, Author of The Exiled Queen and The Warrior Heir.
