![]() ![]() But how can he run when he can’t even walk well without a cane?įeisty heroes, tricky gods, murderous demons, and spirited giants are just some of the pleasures that await in this fresh and funny take on Maya mythology, as rich and delicious as a mug of authentic hot chocolate. To survive, Zane will have to become the Storm Runner. 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. Brooks turns into a hawk, a demon attacks them in a cave, and Rosie gives her all while trying to protect Zane. While she gave the gods and goddesses unique personalities, the accuracy of the pantheon makes The Storm Runner as educational as it is engaging. Together they return to the volcano, where all kinds of crazy happens. Cervantes delivers the same sense of adventure and excitement mixed with plenty of humor that made Riordan so spectacular. 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. ![]() 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. ![]() 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. Zane has always enjoyed exploring the dormant volcano near his home in New Mexico, even though hiking it is challenging. ![]()
