Teen Book Club Reads Ashfall

Join our Teen Book Club at the Aurora Public Library! We meet once a month to eat snacks and chat about our latest book pick. This month, join us for a discussion of 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.

Anyone ages 13-19 is welcome! Pick up your books at the Dillsboro or Aurora Public Library. We can’t wait to see you there!
