boy who has to stop the god of death. A perfect storm of inspiring heroes surprising twists
and some seriously scary monsters. This hilarious expertly-plotted adventure keeps you racing

gateway to another world and he is at the center of a powerful prophecy. A new girl at school

imprisoned in--unless she can find and remove it first. Together they return to the volcano
where all kinds of crazy happens. Brooks turns into a hawk a demon attacks them in a cave and
Rosie gives her all while trying to protect Zane. When Zane decides to save his dog no matter
the cost he is thrust into an adventure full of surprising discoveries dangerous secrets and
an all-out war between the gods one of whom happens to be his father. To survive Zane will
have to become the Storm Runner. But how can he run when he can't even walk well without a
cane? Endorsed by Rick Riordan author of Percy Jackson and the Olympians soon to be a series
