friends who discover they have the ability to control the weather. It's
Storm Chasers meets The 39 Clues, in a story that Booklist called
"fascinating . . . mixing serious science with full-on fantasy."

kidnapped. With the help of two loyal new friends, Angus intends to find
them. This fast-paced, action-packed, funny story of friendship,
adventure, science, and mayhem begins a high-octane four-book series.
