Ash! From the May 18, 1980, explosion of Mount St. Helens - Paperback

Five-year-old Charissa is looking forward to a fishing trip with Grandpa and the rest of the family, but a huge storm appears to be brewing on the horizon much to her dismay. The weather event is a complete surprise and one they are not likely to ever experience again. Ash falling from the sky. Ash that turns day to night. Ash that needs shoveling as one would shovel snow. It is 1980, and the volcano, Mount Saint Helens in Washington State, has erupted, spreading tons of ash thousands of miles. Ash! is a true story of the impact the massive ash fallout had on the author's family who lived directly in line with the fallout zone.
