Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
Volcano Blast (Disaster Strikes #4)
Marlane Kennedy & Erwin Madrid · 2015
58/100
👎 Skip It
This one's built for reluctant readers who want lava, danger, and a fast finish, and on that count it delivers. But the characters and plotting are pretty thin and formulaic, so it's a decent grab for a disaster-loving kid rather than a book I'd go out of my way for.
