Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Storm Blown
Nick Courage · 2019
82/100
👍 Worth It
Storm Blown earns its starred School Library Journal review — Nick Courage puts readers inside two simultaneous hurricanes with genuine suspense and real emotional stakes. The dual-POV structure works, the storm science is credible, and the pacing never lets up; one reviewer's note about occasional racial insensitivity is worth parents knowing about.
