What would you do if you got to meet your favorite television star? What if that same television star asked you to go on a ride with him chase a storm? Sounds cool, right? That is sure what Dex thought. His older brother, who is also his best friend, is away on a secret training mission for the Navy SEAL’s. Dex misses him so much so when this opportunity to go storm chasing with the famous television star, Dr. Gage, Dex jumps at the chance. Little does Dex know that soon he is going to have to be just as brave as his big brother. Lauren Tarshis weaves fiction and nonfiction into a story that had me holding my breath to see how it would end. I gave this book 5 stars because she does such a fantastic job giving disastrous details in a way that every kid can read and not be scared. If you liked this book, Tarshis has 11 more fantastic books, and more to come.

Throw in a few trolls and you have the perfect combination for an adventure of a lifetime. This book even includes instructions for you to make your own Thrones & Bones board game. What are you waiting for? Check this book out today!! You will not be sorry!!

Thrones & Bones Frostborn is an amazing, high-packed adventure that kids will love. I have developed a Google Slide presentation that correlates with the book. The 78-slide presentation covers each chapter with questions related to that chapter. This is a great visual aid to help with comprehension of each chapter. There are also pictures of the characters as they are introduced into each phase of the book. Each slide has the "fade in" animation so that you can ask the questions before the answers come onto the screen. This is a must have if you are reading this book to a class or even for a book club.
