(4) 4-6 I Survived series. Jess and twins Sam and Eddie are retrieving a camera Jess left in a vacation cabin when Mount St. Helens erupts; Jess braves the heat, darkness, and overpowering ash to seek help for her trapped and injured friends. Though the exaggerated survival aspect feels contrived, the exciting historical story provides a glimpse of the event from an intimate-feeling perspective. Historical background appended. Reading list.
