.
kind
of
like
Helicity
herself.
The
word
helicity
means
to
spin
in
a
corkscrew
motion,
and
for
as
long
as
she
can
remember,
Helicity
has
been
fascinated
by
the
weather.
Her
heroes
are
not
reality
TV
stars,
but
meteorologists
and
storm
chases.
The
weather
is
Helicity's
escape
from
her
own
reality-be
it
school,
her
father's
strict
discipline,
or
her
brother's
imminent
departure
for
college,
where
he's
all
set
to
play
football.
One
fateful
day,
Helicity
and
her
horse
head
out
on
a
long
ride
to
take
a
break
from
life
at
home.
Even
with
her
experience
studying
the
atmosphere,
Helicity
is
unprepared
for
a
powerful
tornado
that
wipes
out
her
town.
The
choices
Helicity
makes
before,
during,
and
after
that
storm
will
have
a
lasting
effect
on
her
family
and
her
future.

Recenzii
Praise
forChasing
Helicity.
Meteorologist
Ginger
Zee
deftly
balances
the
science
of
storms,
their
fascination
to
storm
chasers,
and
Helicity's
angst
and
family
problems.
Readers
should
easily
relate
to
Helicity's
longing
to
follow
her
passion:
"Wind,
moisture,
pressure,
temperature-there
was
so
much
about
the
weather
that
she
didn't
know,
and
so
much
she
wanted
to
understand."
