This review is from: Volcano Adventure (Hardcover)

Volcano Adventure is an excellent book by Willard Price, who combines adventure and fiction with true facts to create a superb book about Hal and Roger, 14 and 19, who go exploring volcanoes around the Pacific rim. This is the fourth book of the fourteen in the adventure series by Willard Price.

This is a great book along with the rest of the Adventure book series by Willard Price. Although these book are educational, they are also very interesting, great, suspenseful, and have excellent characters! I encourage everyone to read these books and to order them from amazon.com!

3.0 out of 5 stars A splendid work of action & adventure !, October 11, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Volcano Adventure (Paperback)

I had never read any of these action-adventure books in my life & had taken this book only on the basis of our school's librarian suggesting it & indeed, I never regreted reading this book. The author had potrayed the settings so naturally that sometimes, I would really be inside the story & would feeling the fright that the characters were feeling. This book never kind of bored me. It's nice ... try it out !
