When Heather turns eight, her eccentric great-grandmother gives her a family heirloom--an umbrella with the power to teleport her to areas experiencing wild weather conditions. Heather's umbrella has a built-in magical doppler that alerts her to wild weather happening somewhere. In the blink of an eye, Heather travels to the middle of a superstorm! Heather observes and learns about the weather, but also lends a helping hand and documents her adventures with her friend Edward and animal companions Fog the dog and a lizard named Blizzard. Her journal entries, notes from her helpers, definitions, and activities provide additional information for the curious reader.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLinda Oatman High\u003c\/b\u003e is an experienced and versatile children's book author of over 25 books for children (and teens), including picture books and middle grade and YA novels.
