Don Wood, bestselling Caldecott artist, rocks the graphic-novel world with his new paperback! The volcano is erupting, and brothers Sumo and Duffy are trapped inside a deep lava tube--almost certain death. How did they get here?

The remote island of Kocalaha is threatening to explode at any minute. Will the boys survive? Don Wood's rip-roaring adventure keeps readers hooked and turning the pages in this cinematic graphic novel that garnered outstanding critical acclaim. As one reviewer wrote about this book, "the American Library Association will either have to start handing Caldecott Medals over to comic books or create an entirely new award for them."
