Everywhere 12-year-old Andrea Carter goes, trouble follows. Even in the middle of the main street in Fresno, California.

One of the worst natural disasters of all time is about to happen: the eruption of Mount Vesuvius!

But can she lead a rescue party back to Mother before the outlaws take their new teacher - and disappear forever?
