A destructive force is about to hit the city of Joplin...
Eleven-year-old Dexter has always wanted to see a tornado. So when he gets the incredible opportunity to go storm chasing with the famous Dr. Norman Rays, he has to say yes! Dr. Rays is the host of Tornado Mysteries, the show that Dex and his older brother, Jeremy, watched every night until Jeremy joined the U.S. Navy SEALs and left Joplin.
Dex certainly knows how deadly tornadoes can be, but this one isn't heading toward Joplin, and wouldn't it be great to have a brave and exciting story of his own to tell Jeremy when he comes home? But when the tornado shifts direction, Dexter's bravery is about to get seriously tested...

Dexter is eleven and has ALWAYS wanted to see a tornado and he loves watching storm chasers on Tv. When Dr. Norman Gage almost hits him in it his van he invites Dexter to go along on a ride to possibly see tornado form. What nobody knows is it's going to be the deadliest tornado in America in fifth years! 158 people died and 1,100 were wounded. The author of this book actually spoke to people from Joplin and decided dozens of true stories to help her write it. About 2 days ago was the 8 year anniversary of the actual storm. I highly recommend this to all t seeds and learn about this crazy storm. Thanks for reading -Ajg16's reviews
