Summary
While going for a picnic on top of a mountain, the McTavishes feel the mountain begin to shake, rattle, and bang and begin to see lava flowing, so they all pile into their rattlebang car and hope to make it down the mountain before it is too late. Reprint. SLJ. H. AB.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: The McTavishes have piled into their old rattlebang car for a picnic on the top of Mount Fogg. But when the mountain starts to shake and red-hot lava erupts, the McTavishes hope that the old rattlebang can stay together long enough to save them from disaster!-- "An original tall tale with an outrageously bizarre plot...(Mahy's) writing is vivid, funny, and full of details that will be dear to a child's heart". -- School Library Journal, starred review
