About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is seeking a fast-paced escape or needs to see a peer navigating high-stress situations with composure and grit. It is an ideal choice for the child who feels restless with slower narratives and responds well to stories where practical skills and quick thinking are the keys to survival. Twelve-year-old Chase Masters lives on the road with his father, a professional storm chaser. When a massive hurricane hits Florida, Chase is separated from his dad and must use everything he has learned to protect himself and a new friend. While the plot is pulse-pounding, the heart of the story lies in the bond between father and son and the development of self-reliance. It is a lean, accessible read that respects a middle-grade reader's intelligence while keeping them on the edge of their seat.
