Reach for this book when your child is grappling with anxiety about the world's unpredictability or recovering from a personal or community setback. Helicity Dunlap is a resilient protagonist who carries the weight of past traumas from natural disasters in Michigan to what she hopes is a peaceful summer in Texas. However, as she faces a sudden and dangerous weather event on the coast, she must learn that true safety comes from inner strength and knowledge rather than just a change of scenery.
