Ashfall by Mike Mullen
Alex is your typical 15 year old high school student fighting for his independence. His parents are planning a family trip Illinois for the weekend and of course Alex does not want to go. After much debate his mom finally caves and allows Alex to stay home by himself, this will be a decision they will both soon regret. There is a super volcano under Yellowstone National Park and it erupts, taking everything and everyone out that is in its path. Alex makes the decision to travel from his home in Iowa to Illinois to find his family. He is in a race for his life, everything he has known is gone and now it's kill or be killed.
I really liked this book from the first page it sucks you in and you can't help but think, what would I do? Alex's character is strong and believable but he is also flawed and I think that is what makes this book so good.
