The Storm Makers by Jennifer E. Smith



Ruby doesn't know what's wrong with her twin brother, Simon.  Things haven't been the same between them since they moved out into the country.  On the farm, everything is different, her mom is now a struggling artist and her dad is trying to build his invention.  Then, Ruby discovers a mysterious stranger in their barn.  The tall, lanky figure tells Ruby that Simon is a storm maker, a person who can control the weather.  Ruby, doesn't want to believe the news but Simon has been different lately.  He seems to be putting off some kind of electrical current.  Finally, after Simon gets hospitalized, Ruby is willing to listen to Otis, the stranger.  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!
