The Magic Volcano V. K. May

On a plane from Australia to Papua New Guinea, Molly Marsh starts to explore the most unexplored country on Earth. By reading articles on her tablet, she learns PNG is one of the most biodiverse countries on the planet with over 200,000 species of plants and animals. The massive mountains and thick jungle isolate most of the villages from each other, resulting in over 800 languages and 1,000 cultures across the country.




But Molly soon learns real life is even more exciting than what she reads in science journals. Join her as she teams up with Michael, the boy from next door, as they put their super smart science minds together to discover mysteries even the adults don't know about. Accompanied by a three-meter-long lizard named Ted, they discover something in the belly of a volcano. Intrigued, they climb down and find a bright turquoise lake amidst a remarkable collection of plants and animals that should not exist. Molly and Michael strive to understand the connections between these things before they tackle the most difficult question of all - what to do with this knowledge.
