I Survived #14: The Eruption of Mount St. Helens, 1980

Eleven-year-old Jessie Marlowe has grown up with the beautiful Mount St. Helens always in the background. She's hiked its winding trails, dived into its cold lakes, and fished for trout in its streams. Just looking at Mount St. Helens from her window made Jess feel calm, like it was watching over her somehow. Of course, she knew the mountain was a volcano ... but not the active kind, not a volcano that could destroy and kill!
