This is like two books in one. You get a historical fiction story that presents the events of the eruption of Vesuvius that fateful day in AD 79. Color photographs of excavation sites in Pompeii and Herculaneum and artifacts uncovered are throughout the book. You also get a great description of a day in the life of an archaeologist who is carefully studying the remains of the person that the first story is about. Excellent resource when studying volcanoes and Pompeii.
