This book kind of reads like a campfire story - it's outrageous, plot-driven, and full of twists and turns, but not overly complicated. It's a great read for people who like extreme survival stories. ( )

Storm Runners is a good book that contains no comedy, but a lot of adventure. ( )

Narrated by Ramón de Ocampo. Chase Masters and his dad travel to Florida where Hurricane Emily is forecast to hit, and where Mr. Masters hopes to make money on repairs in the aftermath of the storm. Mr. Masters has raised Chase to be fully prepared for any emergency, but they didn’t count on being caught up in what turns out to be “the storm of the century.” Young listeners will be captivated by the suspense and dramatic energy of the story as presented.

RGG: Great page-turning read. Characters are engaging, the action is fast-paced, and even the survival tips are fascinating. For everyone who loves the I Survive series. Reading Level: 10-14; FP: U.

I could only give this book four stars due to the abrupt ending. Buy the next book to continue the story! I liked the way the chapters alternated among different scenes and different groups of people, thus different views of the situation. I also liked that the chapter headings were chronological times, not chapter numbers. I wanted to learn more about Momma Rossi and the circus family, but those characters were not well developed. I did like John Masters very much, a very cool dad character. Chase (good name!) also had a lot of survival skills. The book was very gripping and drew in the reader almost at once. Too bad I have to get the next two books to finish the story! ( )
