Storm-related Children’s Books

            Listening to reports of Super storm Sandy, I found myself thinking about weather in children’s books.  I know there are many picture books that look at particular subjects, wind or snow, for instance.  But I could only think of a few works of fiction, Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse and Snowbound by Harry Mazer.  Kenneth Oppel’s Airborn has a typhoon in one chapter, but it’s mostly a plot point and not the subject of the book. The Y.A. book by Christopher, Stolen, uses the Australian outback and its dry, hot weather almost as a character.  Certainly Gary Paulsen’s survival books have plenty of wild storms to cope with.   Can you offer any titles?
