This story is about a boy named Joseph and his family escaping Pompeii. This is a short historical fiction that I made so the family may not be real, because I was not there when Vesuvius erupted 2,000 years ago! I got the important details that I worked into this story about Pompeii. Pompeii is a real town in Italy that was rediscovered and excavated between the late 1700s and today. 1/3 of Pompeii is still under ash today so that artifacts and art will be preserved for the future. If you complain about historical times, I will not listen because this is HISTORICAL FICTION which means it's based on real events. Three other cities fell to Vesuvius's pyroclastic ash clouds. That means that Vesuvius literally exploded. Anyone here have gone to the Philadelphia Franklin Institute's Pompeii Exhibit earlier in February 2014? Hope you enjoyed this book! :)
