In the year of 2008, a volcano explodes, and a sixteen year old by the name of Miles Newell and his family try to survive through the chaos.

Fuel and food has become short throughout the U.S. There is also a lot of crime happening throughout Minneapolis.

Miles is known as a kid that goofs around, and is not taken seriously, but Miles is a smart kid with a good memory.

The eruption ever since 2006 in Washington Mount Rainer is still causing problems, and Miles and his family have to go to a cottage in the woods. Throughout this trip they deal with people who are bad, and prices for food are high. Miles wonderful invention called the Ali Princess helps the Newell family travel. When they reach the cottage, there is a shock when the Newell family goes inside.

Will Miles memory help his family through the future, or will the crimes take over the cities?

What I disliked about the book was that in the beginning it didn't give too much information about the volcano, and where it is going to hit. Some things I liked about the book was that it had a lot of adventure, and it makes you think about certain situations in the book. I also liked how the author makes it seem so real.

The people who would like this book would be people who like adventure books, and people who like books that are full of action. Any person whether it's a boy or girl could read this book.
