Tornado: A Twisting Tale of Survival

Survive!

by Thomas Kingsley Troupe, Kirbi Fagan (Illustrator)

Andy and her twin brother Tony are four-wheeling in the woods near their family cabin when they notice the sky has turned a sickly shade of green. Moments later, the sky erupts into a raucous thunderstorm and they’re forced to take cover beneath an abandoned Ranger tower. When the sky grows eerily calm, they quickly get back on their four-wheelers and race home--only to find a massive funnel cloud blocking their way. The twins dodge falling trees and debris in search of shelter only to face an even bigger is it safer to keep moving or hunker down beneath less than ideal cover?

"This book did not have enough tornado shelters! The dad shouldn't have told them not to do [that] because it made them want to do [it]. I liked this book because even if a tornado comes you should be grateful you are alive. Don't be miserable because your four wheelers are gone just be glad you didn't die!" -Cadee, age 8

"I didn't like that the four wheelers got broken by the sky. The part that I did like was that they were alive." -Conley, age 5
