<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Published in the United Kingdom in 2014 by Hot Key Books"--Colophon.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Eleven-year-old Danny O'Neill has never been what you'd call adventurous. But when he wakes the morning after a storm to find his house empty, his parents gone, and himself able to hear the thoughts of a dying tree, he has no choice but to set out on a quest to find answers. He soon learns that the enigmatic Book of Storms holds the key to what he seeks . . . but unraveling its mysteries won't be easy. If he wants to find his family, he'll have to face his worst fears, battle terrifyingly powerful enemies, and confront a shadowy and demonic figure: Sammael.<br>This powerfully written debut reveals a world where magic seamlessly intertwines with the everyday and nothing is black and white. For Danny, the only certain thing is that time is running out . . . and he must hurry if he wants to rescue everything he holds dear.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"The gripping pace and complex moral musings pair with a setting that is so vividly described that it becomes a character itself. Readers will eagerly anticipate the next volume in this anticipated trilogy." --<i>BCCB</i> <p/>"The extraordinary comes out from hiding behind the ordinary in Hatfield's debut novel . . . This fanciful book brings new awareness of the natural world." --<i>VOYA</i> <p/>"*Confident storytelling lays a solid foundation for Book 1 of this original middle-grade fantasy trilogy . . . A powerfully conceived and executed story that adds a wholly original element to the fantasy genre." --<i>Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW<br></i> <p/>"* Hatfield doesn't shy from depicting violent deaths or the occasional bit of gore, but the story is never gratuitous--the frights are just enough to keep readers' hearts racing as they read late into the night." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Ruth Hatfield </b>is a sometime archaeologist, sometime technician who lives in Cambridge, England. When she's not writing or digging or making circuit boards, she spends her time belting around on a bike and roaming the countryside on her cantankerous horse. <i>The Book of Storms</i> is her first book.
