I am loving this series. Volcanoes can be scary but this book explains how they are important and help promote life. ( )

There is a lot of information in this book. In this book the earth being in an almost ice age because the sun's heat is not reaching it. The human's set out to find fuel in a desolate world. When they end up in a library they use a piece of equipment to harvest the knowledge and stories before burning the books. One of the books is about volcanoes and when Rory reads it, she is convinced that they should be able to find another way to heat the Earth. The book then gives information about tectonic plates, types of volcanoes, the earth's crust, lava and lots of other information about Volcanoes, fire and life. Of course the others do not believe her until they see steam coming from a crack. This could be overload for some readers but it is an interesting way to present the information to middle grade students.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. ( )

I thoroughly enjoy the Science Comics line and this was another fascinating exploration. With a different but fun framing device, the information and the infectious presentation flow naturally. Art is detailed but not overbearing with colors that take advantage of the necessary reds and yellows. ( )
