The fantastic third instalment in the Dorkius series sees the young
protagonist travel to Pompeii for more silly mayhem. Can Dorkius
save the townsfolk from the dreaded volcano or will he fall at the
first hurdle? Dorkius is annoyed when he has to move with his
family to Pompeii for the summer. He has to leave behind all the
joys of Rome for a boring small town. He finds the people of
Pompeii to be even more superstitious than his mum, and watches in
disbelief as they base all their decisions around animal innards
readings. Things brighten up when he meets a local girl called
Decima who's convinced a demon is haunting nearby Mount Vesuvius.
They go off to investigate and Dorkius finds that the demonic
rumbles are coming from inside the volcano itself. Convinced that
Vesuvius is about to erupt, Dorkius rushes down to the town to warn
everyone, but they take no notice. Dorkius and Fabricus flee the
city and watch from a distance as the volcano erupts. When they get
back to the town, they find that everyone survived, although there
was minor damage to property. Dorkius warns the townsfolk that
their city could face a more deadly eruption, but they refuse to
worry about it as long as their animal innards tell them they're
safe. By award winning author Tim Collins, and with amusing
illustrations from Andrew Pinder.
