    About this ebook

    It was supposed to be a fun camping trip. Tom and Kevin had been looking forward to it all summer. Kevin had never camped before, and Tom couldn't wait to show his friend how to fish and survive in the wilderness. But when the long-dormant volcano erupts, their fun trip vanishes, replaced by a mad dash for survival. Tom and Kevin have to use their smarts to outrun the lava spilling madly from the volcano's peak.

    Jake Maddox

    Who is Jake Maddox? Athlete, author, world-traveler – or all three? He has surfed in Hawaii, scuba-dived in Australia, and climbed the mountains of Peru and Alaska. His books range from the most popular team sports to outdoor activities to survival adventures and even to auto racing. His exploits have inspired numerous writers to walk in his footsteps – literally! Each of his stories is stamped with teamwork, fair play, and a strong sense of self-worth and discipline. Always a team-player, Maddox realizes it takes more than one man (or woman) to create a book good enough for a young reader. He hopes the lessons learned on the court, field, or arena and the champion sprinter pace of his books can motivate kids to become better athletes and lifelong readers.

      CHAPTER 1

      A REAL, LIVE VOLCANO

      An old blue pickup truck bounced along a quiet dirt road. Tall pines towered all around, and a cool rain was falling like mist.

      A raven hopped away from the side of the road as the truck passed. Two deer lifted their heads from some breakfast to watch the truck go by.

      The man driving smiled slightly as he guided the truck. To his right, two boys talked and laughed, excited.

      So you and your dad take this trip every year? asked the boy sitting by the window.

      The other boy, squished between his father and his friend, nodded. Yup, he said. Every fall for the seven days before school starts up again.

      Tom’s right, said the driver. In fact, did you know you’re first person we ever brought along, Kevin?

      Really? asked Kevin, the boy by the window. It’s always been just you two before?

      Tom and his father nodded. That’s right, Tom’s dad said.

      Yup, Tom said. Ever since I was eight years old. This will be our fifth trip in five years!

      Kevin said, My family usually goes to an amusement park for the week before school starts. This is going to be way more fun. I’m excited.

      A moment later, the pickup
