A boy on a quest against the power of the storm Eleven-year-old
Danny's parents are storm chasers - which sounds fun and exciting,
and it is, so long as you aren't the son who has to wait behind at
home. And one night, after a particularly fierce storm, Danny's
parents don't come back. Stranger still, the old sycamore tree in
Danny's yard seems to have been struck by lightning, and when he
picks up a fragment of wood from the tree's heart, he finds he can
hear voices ... including that of next door's rather uppity cat,
Mitzy. The stick is a taro, a shard of lightning that bestows upon
its bearer unnerving powers, including the ability to talk with
plants and animals - and it is very valuable. So valuable, in fact,
that it attracts the attention of a Sammael, an ancient figure of
darkness and a buyer of souls. And he will do anything to get his
hands on it ... And so begins a dangerous and daring quest. Danny,
who is bewildered, alone and unaccustomed to acts of bravery, must
confront his fears, find his parents and unravel the secrets of The
Book of Storms ...
