Tornado, the very word strikes fear to the people in their path.  Author Carlson introduces the reader to Robin Tanamachi, a storm chaser. She has been obsessed with severe weather since she was a child and now is a meteorologist, tornado specialist, radar expert, and veteran storm chaser. Her goal- to understand the hows and whys of tornadoes and therefore save the lives of those caught in their path. Young scientists learn how and why these storms form and where these storms are most prevalent. Another Scientists in the Field selection that doesn’t disappoint! Solid information, supported with photographs, glossary, bibliography.  A must for every public and school library, especially now with tornadoes that are becoming the norm rather than an isolated incident. CREAM.

Good for grades 4 and up.
