Storm Runners Book 2: The Surge ReviewBy This Kid Reviews Books! Find me on the web!
You may think that if you're a kid in the middle of a hurricane - your bus crashed, you nearly drowned, you survived an alligator attack, and everything is flooding - that things can't get much worse, right? Wrong. Chase, Nicole, and Rashawn thought the answer was "right."

Chase, his Dad and, Tomas, his Dad's partner, travel to where natural disasters happen and make their living by helping to rebuild after the disaster happens. Chase's father always made sure he was away from the center of the disasters, but this time the storm shifted! Now Chase and his friends, Nicole and Rashawn are in the middle of it! They thought they were safe when they reached Nicole's house but her family owns a farm but this is no ordinary farm. It is a farm where Nicole's family keeps their circus animals when they are not traveling with the circus and now some of the animals are loose. An angry leopard, that could kill them with a pounce, is running amuck and a lion that just mauled its trainer is loose, too. To top things off, the SURGE from lake water is flooding the farm. They are cold, wet, hungry, hurt and may be cat food! Will they survive the hurricane?

This book is the 2nd book in the series and it was even better than the first one (Storm Runners)! The 3rd book is called "Eruption" and it will be published March 12, 2012 (AHK! TOO LONG TO WAIT!). I like Tomas the best because he seems like a great friend, especially to John and Chase Masters (Tomas is John's best friend and business partner). I recommend "The Surge" to fans of adventure, action, thrills, and Roland Smith. The book is very suspenseful and you never exactly know what's going to happen next! I already pre-ordered my copy of Eruption, I'm not going to tell you how Chase's day gets EVEN worse but I'll give you a hint -think VOLCANO!

After reading a bunch of Mr. Smith's books (Legwork, Cryptid Hunters, Tentacles, The Storm Runners Series) Roland Smith has become one of my favorite authors. I am going to read some more of his older books!
Storm Runners Book 2: The Surge OverviewMaster of middle-grade adventure Roland Smith returns with a second installment in this fast-paced action series.
Chase and his friends Nicole and Rashawn have just survived Hurricane Emily, the storm of the century, but their troubles are just beginning. Though they've made it to the safety of Nicole's family's farm -- the winter home of the Rossi Brothers Circus -- the flood waters are rising and they need to reach higher ground. The circus's lions have escaped their cages, and a mean and unpredicable leopard is also on the loose. And then, of course, there's the problem of the wildlife preserve next door! Have Chase and his friends lived through a terrifying night only to face a new danger?

The Rainbow Bridge: Rainbows in Art, Myth, and Science ReviewThis book offers a comprehensive survey of rainbows, through an intriguing combination of mythology, art, science and history of science. Rainbows are relatively common elements of paintings and of modern-day advertising, but even great artists can make elementary mistakes in depicting rainbows. The lavish illustrations include reproductions of works of art, colour photographs of rainbows (some of which are stunning) and many diagrams. The authors provide lucid explanations of the science of rainbows without demanding significant mathematical ability on the part of the reader. If you enjoyed reading Carl Boyer's historical perspectives in his book "The Rainbow - from myth to mathematics", you will certainly enjoy this book. If you have more than a passing interest in rainbows, this is a "must buy" book!The Rainbow Bridge: Rainbows in Art, Myth, and Science Overview
