Bookroo's summary

Warren Spaulding's school project takes a perilous turn when his grandfather's invention sends him back to the day Mount St. Helens erupts. Stranded in the past, Warren must navigate the chaos of the impending disaster. With no clear way back, can he find a solution before it's too late? As the volcano rumbles, the stakes rise, and Warren's ingenuity is put to the ultimate test. Will he survive the eruption and return to his own time, or be lost in history forever?

From the publisher

The Volcano Disaster is Peg Kehret’s time-traveling adventure that started as a simple class assignment. Warren Spaulding and Betsy Tyler are supposed to be working on a class project about Mount St. Helens. Instead Warren is busy testing his grandfather’s latest invention – the Instant Commuter. Suddenly, he is teleported back to the morning of the eruption and he has no way of getting back home!
