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 seach 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.
This book caught me on the first page. It's an apocalypse story about a teenager, who stayed home while his parents went to visit relatives. He spends a majority of the book trying to get to them. It's an easy read, with a great flow to it. One of the best apocalypse book series I've read. It even has some really funny parts, but very shocking parts too. There is 3 main books and a novella. The Novella really added to the series as an important backstory.
