"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted here, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
The Stormchasers
By Jenna Blum
Publication Date: May 27
From the author's website:
"The Stormchasers is a contemporary novel set in the fictional Minnesotan town of New Heidelburg; the city of Minneapolis; and the lonely, majestic rural corridor of Tornado Alley. The novel focuses on the Hallingdahl twins, a brother and sister who are both fascinated with severe weather. The brother, a stormchaser, is also bipolar, and his sister is his caretaker; when the brother’s disorder causes a terrible event, the sister struggles with how to keep it and its aftermath a secret. As the novel follows how the twins’ bond twists and changes, The Stormchasers explores the question of how much we owe our siblings—and at what cost to ourselves."

I hate weather and my least favorite movie was Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton in "Twister". The book however delves into more than that and sounds like a heartwarming read. Here is mine it is quite different genre to say the least .

The Stormchasers sounds like a really moving story. It will probably make a great book club selection.
Here is my first Waiting on Wednesday pick:
http://reading-extensively.blogspot.com/2010/01/waiting-on-wednesday-1.html
I just LOVE your WOW this week. I have a fascination with extreme weather like you wouldn't believe. Twister is one of my favourite films much to my husband's disapproval. I didn't get time to do a WOW this week but I already have one ready for next week!
This sounds like such a unique book. The cover is so eye-catching, too!
