Lauren Tarshis does a great job at making the events in this book seem very real. She brings out the real aspect of what happened at Mount St. Helens but aslo makes the fictional characters seem like they were really there.

Finally, the books shows how friendship can get you through hard situations.
In conclusion, if you like a suspencful and sort of gloomy story... Then, I Survived The Eruption of Mount St. Helens, 1980 is a great book for you!!
