Eye of the Storm: Nasa, Drones, and the Race to Crack the Hurricane Code, written by Amy Cherrix, reviewed by Debra Gantz

Summary: I have been a fan of the Scientists in the Field series for a very long time. This book is interesting to browse, but so very filled with scientific information for the budding scientist who will read it cover to cover. The photos throughout are engaging and the captioned illustrations alongside these powerful photographs are spectacular.

I love the thinking about children and their school work when they explain the work of scientists: note taking, record keeping, using keyboards to fly the equipment, problem solving, and working together are strongly supported in this book. Eye of the Storm certainly gives us a taste of why Meteorologists work with other scientists closely to better learn about the hurricanes that hit our and other nation's shores.

Straight Talk for Librarians:  I have very few elementary aged students who check these out, but those that do are fascinated. I have to book talk the series every year.
