Faced with three overwhelming events all at the same time: pregnancy, fighting parents, and poor grades, Allie runs away. She accompanies her friend Razz who happens to be the national skateboarding champion. After winning a tournament, Razz has to return home to do a television interview with his rival, Slammer. On the way home, they see, and are almost caught up in, a tornado. The rest of the story revolves around death, heroism, destruction, and reunification. The reading level is middle school aged, but deals with mature themes, making this a book aimed at teens. The narrative is based on a true story of when tornadoes touched down in Ontario. Teens will like the book because it contains themes that they can relate to. This book will be of high interest, but with an easy reading level which will be especially good for students that are struggling with their reading. Recommended for schools and libraries, especially ones where tornadic activity is likely to occur.
