   So far it is really good if your like me you would prefer it. I just got it from the scholastic book club catalogue a few days ago and I’m loving it. Lucia and tag should be together and I’ve read a few chapters so far because they are quite short and I just want to keep reading and finis the book. I would say the blurb is a spoiler and the front picture the first time you look at it you find out quite a lot. It was horrible what happened in Pompeii with the horrific erupting volcano bursting lava everywhere and destroying the town, people and everything else left in its past. The few people that survived were lucky and and remained to tell the story of the deaths of their friends, family and villagers and are trying very hard to rebuild their town, houses and etc. It is a true story of two star-crossed lovers fighting for freedom and locked in a blinded wall of love and friendship with a sea of hatred and difficulty. Will they survive in time and help each other when the volcano erupts?
