Meteorologist Ginger Zee deftly balances the science of storms, their fascination to storm chasers, and Helicity's angst and family problems. The choices Helicity makes before, during, and after that storm will have a lasting effect on her family and her future. Even with her experience studying the atmosphere, Helicity is unprepared for a powerful tornado that wipes out her town.
One fateful day, Helicity and her horse head out on a long ride to take a break from life at home. The weather is Helicity's escape from her own reality-be it school, her father's strict discipline, or her brother's imminent departure for college, where he's all set to play football. Her heroes are not reality TV stars, but meteorologists and storm chases. The word helicity means to spin in a corkscrew motion, and for as long as she can remember, Helicity has been fascinated by the weather.
Throughout her career and especially in this book, Zee is dedicated to getting young people interested in science, respecting the environment and atmosphere around them.Book Synopsis Helicity is well aware that her name is unusual.
