The Magic School Bus meets Over the Moon in this first book in a new chapter book series about a young Indian American girl who loves science and has a big imagination!
Sejal Sinha is looking forward to celebrating Diwali with her family. But when a hurricane appears, Sejal and her cousin Mira learn that the house is in danger from the imminent storm. With the help of Sejal's favorite stuffed animal, Professor Cheetah, the two girls use Cardboard Box Magic to build their own Hurricane Hunter and fly into the eye of the hurricane!

They learn about a project from the 1960s called Project Stormfury, where a team actually tried to stop hurricanes. Can Sejal and Mira do what the previous Stormfury team couldn't and battle the superstorm?

      Grades 1-3 Indian American Sejal, a science-loving, imaginative eight-year-old, investigates extreme weather in this early chapter book. When a hurricane warning throws a damper on Diwali celebrations, Sejal, Mira (her cousin), Abu (her little brother), and Professor Cheetah (her erudite stuffed animal) embark on a meteorological adventure. A big empty cardboard box, with the addition of some stickers and marker drawings, undergoes a Magic School Bus-like transformation into an aircraft dubbed SS Cheetah. Sejal's delightfully curious and determined first-person narration charts the course of this special mission as the crew flies into the eye of the storm and learns about the forces of nature along the way. Solid science reporting is delivered throughout the text by hurricane-hunter mentors and a scientist. Weather terminology (e.g. superstorms, eyewall) as well as details about Diwali traditions (like rangoli and sparklers) are explained conversationally. The kids come up with a very cool idea to thwart "Hurricane Ruin-Everything." An author's note provides more scientific details. The future looks sunny for this fun and informative STEM chapter-book series opener.
