A Trip Inside a Tornado

by Christine Honders

Overview

Tornadoes are some of the strongest storms on the planet. It isn't safe to go near them, but what if we could? Readers will dive into the world of wild weather in a special ship that lets them get up close and personal with a tornado. From the cone of silence deep inside the storm to the incredible winds and lightning created by a superstorm, this book will electrify readers as well as educate them on what to do if a tornado forms nearby.
