This cover compels me to read it. My students will be waiting with excitement for this to be published and on their desks!

Do you need any students to give feedback on the book?

Thanks for sharing!

I bought Storm Runners at the book fair. I hope that I don’t have to wait too long to find out how it ends! Will The Surge be out yet this year? I sure hope so! What a great book!

I think your teacher would have to do that through the Scholastic clubs.

I have an online acess code to read the first chapters of the surge too. I know how to get to the site. But where do you type the code in?

I don’t know how this work. I think you might have to ask your teacher or librarian.

Mr. Smith,
My book club for boys only, The Page Turners Club here at North Central Middle School, will dive into your book tomorrow. Is there somewhere I can go to get activities, writing prompts and the like that go along with the book?

roland Post author October 4, 2011 at 2:06 pm

There is curriculum for all of my novels on my webpage. Free of charge. Say hello to your club for me.

Roland I am booktalking”Storm Runners” and “Surge” in middle school classes in Jackson County, Or. You visited years ago.
I really was kept riveted by the first book. Since Surge was released around the time of hurricane Irene, the whole story is so relevant to students living in non-hurricane areas, what happens in these big storms. Question: What hurricane if any did you base the first part the story on?
Anything you’d like me to quote to students about you’ve learned from writing about hurricanes? Janis/JCLS

Most of what I know about hurricanes are in the books. The fictional hurricane Emily is a compilation of hurricanes I’ve been involved with in the SE when I was a wolf biologist reintroducing red wolves. I have never been in one as bad as Emily…thankfully. I’ve finished the third book ERUPTION. It will be out in March.
