Chasing Helicity #1: Force of Nature
Thirteen-year-old Helicity—not a victim of a horrific tornado, but a survivor—connects with a local meteorologist and other stormchasers who support her plan to become one of them.
Helicity is well aware that her name is unusual…kind of like Helicity herself. The word helicity means to spin in a corkscrew motion, and for as long as she can remember, Helicity has been fascinated by the weather. Her heroes are not reality TV stars, but meteorologists and storm chases.
The weather is Helicity's escape from her own reality—be it school, her father's strict discipline, or her brother's imminent departure for college, where he's all set to play football.
One fateful day, Helicity and her horse head out on a long ride to take a break from life at home. Even with her experience studying the atmosphere, Helicity is unprepared for a powerful tornado that wipes out her town. The choices Helicity makes before, during, and after that storm will have a lasting effect on her family and her future.
