The Imagination Station #16: Doomsday in Pompeii
It's the hottest adventure yet! When Patrick takes a trip alone
in the Imagination Station for science project research, things get
a little explosive. First, his cousin Beth gets angry that she was
left behind. Second, Eugene Meltsner sees red when he realizes that
Patrick went to Pompeii in 79 A.D. a day before Mount Vesuvius
erupts! It doesn't help that the Imagination Station is on the blink
and Whit has gone missing.
As Beth and Eugene frantically try to find a way fix the machine,
Patrick learns a few things about volcanoes: it's not the lava that
comes first, it's poisonous gas.
Will Eugene be able to reprogram the Imagination Station and send
Beth to help Patrick? And what will happen to Patrick's new
friends—a preacher, a looter, and a stray dog? Find out in the next
adventure, Doomsday in Pompeii!
