Quick Summary

This book takes kids behind the scenes of the team that hunts hurricanes, predicts wild weather, and explores the deepest parts of the ocean. Readers will freak out over the mind-blowing technology like satellites that track storms from space, deep-sea submersibles, and the chance to imagine themselves as storm chasers or ocean explorers. If your kid devours National Geographic Kids books or dreams of being a real scientist, they'll be hooked on this front-row seat to real-world science in action. Perfect for kids in grades 4 through 7 who love science, nature, or adventure stories.
