When his storm-chaser parents disappear, eleven-year-old Danny O'Neill sets out to find them. With the aid of a magic book, a stick that allows him to talk to plants and animals, and his cousin Tom, Danny races to find his parents before Sammael--the villainous creature who took them--finds him. Precocious young readers especially will enjoy this dark, atmospheric British adventure.
