To make matters even worse, the storm makers are now divided between the charismatic London and the quiet Otis. Which storm maker is to be trusted? Will Simon choose power or self-control? And what part does Ruby play in all of this? An adventure filled with mystery, drought, tornadoes, fires and more!
“For me, it was a Gold Star day. I'd identified an enemy, and I'd made a life decision: I might come home tore up from fighting or late from being punished, but I'd never come home crying. So far, I ain't.” ― Sheila Turnage, Three Times Lucky
