Fiction, General fiction (Children's / Teenage)
Ruby's twin brother Simon is a Storm Maker - his moods can control the weather. But he's far from the only person with this amazing ability, and danger is on the horizon... A rich adventure filled with friendship and mystery for 9 to 11 year-olds.
What starts as an ordinary summer turns exciting and perilous for twins Ruby and Simon when strange things start happening on their farm - sudden gusts of wind, rainstorms, and even tornado warnings - that seem eerily connected to Simon's emotions.
Then a stranger arrives and tells the twins that Simon is a Storm Maker - part of a clandestine group of people entrusted with controlling and taming the weather - and that he is in great danger. Simon and Ruby must race against the clock as they try to master Simon's powers in time to stop a rogue Storm Maker's treacherous - and potentially deadly - plans.
In this thrilling adventure, loyalties can shift as quickly as the wind...and the ordinary can turn extraordinary in the blink of an eye.
