While the wild weather provides a telling backdrop to Jane's tumultuous emotions, an attempted parallel between her dilemma and that of a chase-team member who is trying to hide a major tornado phobia, and a budding romance between Jane and a rival chase team member add little to the story.-Cary Frostick, Mary Riley Styles Public Library, Falls Church, VA.α(c) Copyright 2011. However, the story falls short when, in a brief ending chapter, Jane has come to a swift resolution of her own issues. Zielin does an excellent job of describing the reversal of roles between a daughter and her parent, and her portrayal of the mother's ability to manipulate her daughter is spot-on. The argument that ensues between them results in Jane's finally realizing that she is actually enabling her mother's addiction.
Ethan warns Jane not to go, but she winds up stealing the chase team's van in order to get there. She discovers that her mother's claim to have entered a rehab facility is a lie things come to a head when her mother texts her that she has come to Oklahoma to see her and is waiting at a nearby hotel. This is the first time she has left her mother, and she is consumed by guilt and struggling with repressed resentment toward Ethan, who she feels abandoned their family years before. Gr 8 Up-After her mother's alcoholism places her best friend's life in jeopardy, anger and confusion spur 17-year-old Jane to take a summer job away from Minnesota, photographing tornadoes for her brother Ethan's chase team.
