I feel like this book should've ended at chapter 15 and the events in the last 4 chapters saved for the next book. I also liked seeing her budding interest in meteorology and learning from an actual meteorologist. I liked the beginning watching Helicity and her town deal with recovery from the tornado (which was very authentically done). It just felt like it was leaning a bit more to the YA side, which would make sense as it is the beginning of the series and she'll likely be in high school for the rest of it. Helicity is finishing middle school, but is very focused on high school. She really wants to take honor classes in high school next year and pursue a meteorology career, but she has to convince her parents. She's also conflicted about her continued fascination with the weather and interest in being a storm chaser, even though it has caused so much damage. Because his beloved son was out looking for her when the storm hit (even though Helicity had told her brother on the phone she was fine). Her football star brother who has a scholarship to Michigan State in the fall is injured and his football career may be over. When a tornado hits her town while she is out riding her horse, she gets amazing photos and video footage of the event which gets her noticed by a storm chaser/meteorologist in town. Helicity has always been fascinated by the weather.
