Fall is just a few days away and when I think about the cooler weather, I like to imagine myself in some super soft and warm pj's with a cup of coffee in one hand and my favorite book in the other.
My kids also love to read and have a special little reading nook, even though our apartment is small they found a way to have their own little area for reading their favorite books.
One of our favorite genres is mythology, because the great thing aboug reading is being able to escape for a little bit. It was also how I got Miguel to start reading. He has a small collection of mythology books and it's always great to be able to add a new book. This time he got to add
THE STORM RUNNER by J.C. Cervantes, it's the new middle-grade novel inspired by Maya mythology.
About the Book
How can one boy with a limp stop the Maya god of death, disaster, and darkness from destroying the world?
Zane has always enjoyed exploring the dormant volcano near his home in New Mexico, even though hiking it is challenging. He'd much rather hang out there with his dog, Rosie, than go to middle school, where kids call him Sir Limps a Lot, McGimpster, or Uno – for his one good leg.
What Zane doesn't know is that the volcano is a gateway to another world and he is at the center of a powerful prophecy. A new girl at school, Brooks, informs him that he's destined to release an evil god from the ancient Maya relic he is 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?
Miguel hasn't put the book down and I can't blame him, because this bookworm made sure to read the book before he even got his hands on it.
It's definitely a must read. Make sure to grab a copy and add it to your library.

We love the Harry Potter books.
ReplyDeleteI loved Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising Series.
ReplyDeleteIt's really hard to pick just one. Maybe the Hitchhiker's guide?
ReplyDeleteThe cover is very nice. Thank you for sharing these books.
