Opinion:
I was very enthralled with Runaway Storm by D.E. Knobbe. It was very good, an easy read, although it was more of a leisurely read than an edge-of-your- seat thriller. I would recommend this book to any teenager who would like an informative and highly likeable plot. Runaway Storm includes very good detail and action scenes that portray very believable scenarios. At the end of the book I was gripped with suspense and worry, tensions ran high - I loved the elaborate detail, and was pleasantly surprised.
