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 dilemma: 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
