| Into the Volcano by Don Wood |
 The Blue Sky Press, 2008175 pages Ages: 8-12 years Duffy and Sumo Pugg are pulled from class by their father one winter afternoon and told that they’re going on vacation to visit their Auntie Lulu on the island of Kocalaha. They’ll be traveling with their 300 + pound, former extreme street fighter cousin, aptly named, Mister Come-and-Go. Sumo, the more hesitant of the two brothers, is certain from the start that all is not well with this proposition. Duffy, on the other hand, is gung-ho for adventure and gamely agrees to whatever these newfound relatives have in store for them. And boy, what adventures they have coming! Almost at once the boys are whisked away on a journey so gripping and dangerous that you’ll feel the heat from the volcanoes coming right off the pages and into your hands. Sumo and Duffy find themselves outrunning lava blasts, earthquakes, and giant waves in search of a mysterious material mined from the heart of the volcano. They follow lava tunnels, find an abandoned underground town and are even reunited with their scientist mother. Life and death hang in the balance as these two young heroes try desperately to figure out who to trust and who to run from. Will they make it out of the volcano alive?
