The Volcano Disaster by Peg Kehret is one of the most exciting books I have ever read. Besides all the action packed into this book, it gives you the best facts on what happened on the day Mt. St. Helens errupted.
It all starts as a class assignment with Warren and Betsy. These two partners are really not close. Warren has no time for this, he wants to continue his grampa's invevtion called the Instant Commuter. It allows you travel throw space to get to a destination. For instance, you can go to New Jersey from Japan in a few seconds. But Warren doesn't know that his grampa's invention can go in time too! Betsy suprises Warren by finding his secret, the Instant Commuter.The invention sent him to the time when Mt. Saint Helens errupts! There's one major problem He can't go back, why, I'm not telling. You'll just have to read The Volcano Disaster!

The story takes place in 2 parts of this book Warrens grandmothers house, and in a differnent time period. One thing I liked about this book is that it seems alive and has alot of excitement and all of the characters attitudes seem real and alive. I also like how the characters act in different ways and certain situations. I would compare this book to The Terrorist a mystery book because in each of these book there is some suspense and in some parts you don't know whats going to happen next. I would also compare this book that I read about a boy who time travels to save the world from dinasaurs.

I like the Volcano Disaster by Peg Kehret. It is so good I didn't want to put it down. Betsy and Warren, the main characters, were working on a project about Mount Saint Helens. The ran into trouble when Warren found out that he had traveled through time! You might want to read Volcano Disaster to find out what happens to Warren and Betsy!

"The Volcano Disaster" is a fast-paced action adventure, set on the slopes of Mount Saint Helens just minutes before the volcano is about to erupt.

Although the Instant Commuter that was invented by Warren's grandfather hardly looks like it would work as a Star Trek transporter, much less as a time machine, it's easy to forget about it once Warren is stuck on the slopes of Mount Saint Helens with the Instant Commuter back in the future at his grandmother's house, where his friend Betsy has to figure out how to rescue him from the past before he dies in the deadly ash.

This is an exciting adventure written at about the 4th grade level. Peg Kehret has taken care to make this story true to the facts and setting of the famous May 18, 1980 eruption that took place in Washington State.

a book full of action that will keep you on the edge of your seat till the very end where you start thinking when should i get the sequal. It is action packed and it is a must buy by any kid or adult!

I liked Peg Kehret's book The Volcano Disaster because Warren had the instant commuter that his grandpa had made. He touched Betsy's picture and was blasted back in time. You should read this book if you want to see what happens!
