The Storm Makers

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Brett Helquist. Twins Ruby and Simon, twelve, were inseparable, but recently Simon has become withdrawn and moody. A mysterious stranger informs Ruby that Simon is a Storm Maker, part of a very small group that has "the ability to influence the weather," and the siblings must cope with Simon's nascent power. Global warming references add a topical element; Helquist's occasional black-and-white drawings convey the story's magic.
