When the weather spirals out of control and a rogue Raider’s diabolical plans surface, Tommy must decide" how much he is willing to risk to save the world.
My review:
This middle-grade book is just the kind of book I enjoy. It has a mysterious school and twisted plots. The characters are well developed. The story kind of reminded me of the beginning of "Harry Potter" meshed with "He-Man" and the "Wizard of Oz."
The only concern I have about this book is that it begins a bit slow.
I do not mean to spoil but I can easily say that you will see very familiar characters.
The book boasts of heroes in the making but more importantly, the idea that friendship is everything. When friends stick together amazing things can be accomplished and that is exactly what happens.
4 stars.

Oh yeah, kinda interesting this one is. My grandsons would like this type of book I'm sure. Gerry is older and he's had that bully problem too, but he handled it thank God!
