In a surprising climax, Simon realizes how much he needs his science-savvy twin. Initially overwhelmed, Simon must choose between preventing disaster by stabilizing the weather or joining forces with London. London hopes to coerce Simon into participating in his sinister agenda, stirring up destructive weather events. The youngest Storm Maker on record, Simon has tremendous potential, but he is threatened by Rupert London, chairman of MOSS (Makers of Storms Society). When a freak thunderstorm coincides with Simon’s sudden illness, a mysterious stranger named Otis reveals that Simon is a Storm Maker, one of a select few with power to control the weather. The children have always been close, but since turning 12, Simon seems moody and withdrawn. Contemporary twins in rural Wisconsin discover what’s really behind the weather in this meteorological tale of power and sibling solidarity.Ī year ago, Ruby and Simon’s parents quit their jobs in a Chicago suburb and moved to a small farm to pursue dreams now threatened by a severe drought.
