The Destruction of Pompeii, AD 79

A bold graphic novel adaptation
of Lauren Tarshis's bestselling I Survived the Destruction of Pompeii, AD
79, with text adapted by Georgia
Ball and art by Dave Shephard.

  The beast beneath the
  mountain is restless...


  No one in the bustling city of Pompeii worries when the ground
  trembles beneath their feet. The beast under the mountain Vesuvius,
  high above the city, wakes up angry sometimes - and always
  goes back to sleep.


  But Marcus is afraid. He knows something is terribly wrong -
  and his father, who trusts science more than mythical beasts,
  agrees. When Vesuvius explodes into a huge cloud of ash and rocks
  that fall from the sky like rain, will they have time to escape
  - and survive the epic destruction of Pompeii?
