Storm Runners Book 1 Roland Smith 9780545081757 Books

I am a teacher and like to read the books that my students are interested in so that I can be knowledgeable enough to discuss the books with them. Storm Runners was not my first Roland Smith book, so I expected the same great writing and suspense that I found in Cryptid Hunters. The suspense and plot were well laid out and kept my full attention, but the abrupt ending of this short novel was a huge disappointment. After reading the sequel, Surge, I felt that the two books could easily have been combined into one book, which would have made more sense and not required me to buy two very small books. If you put the two Storm Runners books together they are still not as thick as the Cryptid Hunters book. So, I spent $11.98 for two books that are smaller than one I spent $6.99 for. Not sure if this was a marketing strategy or the publisher just wanted more money, but in my opinion, this was not the best way to present the story.

Storm Runners Book 1 Roland Smith 9780545081757 Books Reviews

It was a bit short but I felt bad for both families. And all there struggles and multiple hard ships
My 7 year old loves for me to read to her and these books have played a big part in getting her interested in reading.
This series was great. Went to check it out before giving it to my grandson and couldn't put the books down until I finished reading them. Grandson will be starting them soon.
Like many of Smith's books, this one presents a survival situation where the main character must use his/her wits to survive. The book provides just enough tension to make the reader want to finish the book and find out what happens to Chase and his new found friends. Being the first of a trilogy, however, means that the book ends on a cliffhanger. Chase's situation presents the reader with a glimpse into just how terrifying and dangerous hurricanes really are. Recommended for those who like survival stories.
THe story was interesting and definitelyk geared to a young (5th grade) audience. The three stars were gived because there was no warning that it would NOT END in any satisfactory way. There were so many things left up in the air. I know it is first of a series of several but I always hated soap operas for the same reason. At least give some semblance of resolution at the end of a book. If you like reading series of books, it would likely be enjoyable tor most.
Storm Runners is a great story with awesome action and confusing parts.Chase is the main character in the story. He goes to school with a girl named Nicole. A hurricane named Emily headed to their school. They head back to their home on a school bus, but it flips. They get stuck in the swamp. The confusing parts are when the author introduces characters without explaining who they are in the beginning. This is a warning, but keep reading it because it gets good.

I recommend this book to my brother Cole and to other people who like books with action. Even though the beginning is confusing, it has amazing action, and I think people will like it.
While the first book in the series started off a bit slow, I really liked the story quite a bit as a whole, but can't for the life of me justify another $3.99 to read the third "book".

These books are way too short. I was shocked when the first book completely ended smack dab in the middle of the story.

And...I was ticked.

Had all these been combined into one gripping novel, (without the acronym "WPP" showing up everywhere), I would have given this four or five full stars.

Readers get really angry and disenchanted with a writer when they pay for a full book that's read in a couple of hours.
They're supposed to be novels with at least 75,000-100,000 words.
Man. This series would have been perfect as one complete novel. Too bad. I'm going to have to write my own conclusion to the series in my head (It'll be super happy, where all the animals were just fine).

I will add that this author is a pretty good writer (he is). I just wish he'd gone about this differently.

Note to animal lovers Many animal deaths & descriptions in this series. I never get warnings myself, but wish for them, so there ya go...
