AWARDS & REVIEWS

Reviews

"The O'Mearas’ cameras catch somnolent giants and vivid eruptors alike, and fill the pages with pyrotechnic displays and incandescent lava streams."

School Library Journal, 01/07/2005

"Illustrating the text are exceptionally fine photos of volcanic landscapes and members of the expeditions. Sidebars carry clear descriptions and pictures (often diagrams) related to such topics as the formation of volcanoes, the types of lava, and the Volcanic Explosivity Index … A natural for nonfiction booktalking."

Booklist, 01/04/2005

"Riveting … filled with stunning color photographs and an abundance of basic volcano information, placed in easy-to-digest sidebars."

Washington Post, 01/05/2005
