<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> "Good Morning America's" chief meteorologist Zee launches a new series. Thirteen-year-old Helicity is not a victim of a horrific tornado but a survivor. She soon connects with a local meteorologist and other storm chasers who support her plan to become one of them. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> Helicity is well aware that her name is unusual - kind of like Helicity herself. The word Helicity means to spin, and for as long as she can remember, Helicity has been fascinated by the weather. The weather is Helicity's escape from her own reality - may that be school, her father's strict discipline, or her brother's imminent departure for college where he's all set to play football. <br>One fateful day, Helicity and her horse head out on a long ride to take a break from life at home. Even with her vast experience with weather, Helicity is unprepared for the elements she faces. The choices Helicity makes before, during, and after that storm will have a lasting effect on her family and her future.<br> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> Praise for <i>Chasing Helicity</i>. Meteorologist Ginger Zee deftly balances the science of storms, their fascination to storm chasers, and Helicity's angst and family problems. Readers should easily relate to Helicity's longing to follow her passion: "Wind, moisture, pressure, temperature--there was so much about the weather that she didn't know, and so much she wanted to understand." --<i><b>Publisher's Weekly</b></i> <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> Ginger Zee is the Chief Meteorologist for ABC News, forecasting for and reporting on the nation's weather from Good Morning America to World News Tonight. Zee has been on the ground before, during and after almost every major weather event and dozens of historic storms including Hurricane Katrina. She watched as the eye of Superstorm Sandy passed over Atlantic City and then covered the devastated Jersey Shore; she was there for the Colorado floods and wildfires; and the destructive tornadoes in Moore and El Reno, Oklahoma.

Her passion for meteorology brought her to stormchase in college at Valparaiso University where she earned her bachelor of science in meteorology. Throughout her career and especially in this book, Zee is dedicated to getting young people interested in science, respecting the environment and atmosphere around them.
