Bridgeport Public Library : Teens! May Read -- Ashfall by Mike Mullin

Bridgeport, WV – The Bridgeport Public Library invites teens to discuss Ashfall by Mike Mullin on Monday, May 12, 2014 at 7:00pm. Following their critique of the book, teens will be asked to brainstorm and create a list of supplies and skills they may need in the event of a natural disaster. The trials Ashfall’s characters face will give them a few ideas!

The teen meeting is delayed an hour from its usual 6:00pm start time as teens are asked to read with a child beginning at 6:00pm on the 12th in celebration of Children’s Book Week! Teens and children interested in this event are asked to register for a reading time slot at the library’s front desk. If you have questions about this event, please contact Sarah Nora at 304-842-8248. About Ashfall by Mike Mullin Under the bubbling hot springs and geysers of Yellowstone National Park is a supervolcano. Most people don't know it's there. The caldera is so large that it can only be seen from a plane or satellite. It just could be overdue for an eruption, which would change the landscape and climate of our planet. For Alex, being left alone for the weekend means having the freedom to play computer games and hang out with his friends without hassle from his mother. Then the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts, plunging his hometown into a nightmare of darkness, ash, and violence. Alex begins a harrowing trek to search for his family and finds help in Darla, a travel partner he meets along the way. Together they must find the strength and skills to survive and outlast an epic disaster. Source: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9644151-ashfall
