The Thief of Worlds by Bruce Coville - ADVISABLE

 The Thief of Worlds by Bruce Coville, 275 pages. Random House, 2021. $17. 

Content: G (mild danger) 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL – ADVISABLE; MS - OPTIONAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

How can the wind stop blowing? Well, it has, and no one on Earth can figure out why. Hurricane’s mother (yes, he was born during a storm)is sickened by the lack of wind and he is desperate to help her. Little does he know that the answer to the problem is his to solve and he will have to travel across dimensions and collect a ragged group to conquer the evil that wants to rule many worlds. 

Hurricane’s journey feels epic, and it will have its fans, but it won’t attract as much attention as Rick Riordan’s books. Coville has a nice deep backlist, so hopefully this newest offering will bring attention to those classics.
