It's really exciting. It's like you're actually in the book, and you feel like you're just going to explode because the book is just really fun. I learned this guy named Neil was in a plane. He was a hurricane watcher. He went into the hurricane - the wall and the eye.

I wouldn't read this out loud to a class room, maybe parts of it if it correlated to our science lessons. I would like to keep it in the classroom though to reach out to the kids that may not like to read, but like storms, storm chasers, weather, or planes.

This book about hurricanes would be great to use in a science class when talking about different types of natural disasters. It could specifically inform children on the dangers of hurricanes and how powerful they can actually be.

Bennet is a stormwatcher; he goes into a hurricane. He goes into the black dot--the eye of the hurricane. Then, he does it again.

"Hurricanes" is a good book to for example, during a science lesson read this story to the students and then see if they learned what a hurricane is. It has lots of important and facts about hurricanes that I didn't even know about myself!

[Kimberly]

I will read any book about disasters. This one was well-written and aimed at children.
