Flamingnet Student Book Reviewer ARuppe_JMajor
Jack is a farm boy, but the dust bowl has taken all the
crops away. The rain has disappeared. His sister,
Dorothy, is very sick. Jack's father thinks he is a good
for nothing little boy and never accepts help from him.
Then, one night in the old Talbot barn, blinding light
shines from inside of it. Jack goes to explore. There he
finds a creature with a face that looks like rain, or
rather, The Storm King. Also, in the barn, he finds a bag
full of thunder. Eventually, he saves the day and it
rains again after years and years of drought.
I loved
this book. It is told in a very interesting way. I
finished it in one night. The plot is very good. It was
amazing.
