| Summary |
"When Zeke the Weather Geek wakes up on his ninth birthday, his Mood Meter is at an all-time high. This is going to be the best birthday ever, because today, he will finally be getting a Saint Bernard puppy. And on top of that, he just knows that his idea for the Winter Weather Photo Contest is a winner. But things quickly go downhill when his perfect snowflake shot for the photo contest is washed out by rain. And when his mom presents him with a cold-blooded lizard instead of a warm, cuddly dog, his Mood Meter takes a plunge to negative 100 degrees ... Zeke Abramovich's Birthday is a total washout! The weather takes its own turn for the worse when a blizzard strikes the town, and the power goes out. Then it's up to Zeke and his knowledge of weather to save the day and the lizard, and to snap a unique photo that earns him the prize and the coveted title of Weather Warrior. Black-and-white art on every spread brings the story to life, adds humor, and helps support and propel readers through story. The first title in a fun new series of early chapter books about a nine-year-old whose passion is the weather, Zeke the Weather Geek celebrates science in the real world. Each book focuses on a different season and related major weather event. Includes illustrated instructions for an egg-in-bottle experiment that demonstrates the power of air pressure, tips on keeping your own weather journal, and ideas for action to fight climate change, offer opportunities for readers to get in on the action."-- Provided by publisher. |
