Kiehtova tietoteos tutustuttaa nuoren lukijan maapallon tulivuoriin ja tuliperäisiin alueisiin. Tulivuoria ajatellessa mieleen nousevat dramaattiset näyt purkauksista, jotka syöksevät hehkuvaa laavaa, vulkaanisia kiviä, kaasuja ja tuhkapilviä. Matkaopas tulivuorten maailmaan tekee jännittävän kiertomatkan kotiplaneettamme tuliperäisillä alueilla ja vastaa lukuisiin mieltä kutkuttaviin kysymyksiin: Miten tulivuoret muodostuvat? Entä miksi ne purkautuvat? Mitkä ovat merkittävimmät purkaukset menneisyydessä? Mitkä tulivuoret saattavat purkautua tulevaisuudessa? Matkan varrella päästään ihailemaan muun muassa laavajärviä, jääpiippuja ja jättikraattereita, jotka voisivat nielaista kokonaisen kaupungin. Ihmisen tuntemista tulivuorista suurin jää kuitenkin reitin ulkopuolelle, sillä se sijaitsee maapallon sijaan... Marsissa! Oletko valmis tulivuorijahtiin? Sitten vain menoksi!
