The Storm Runner by J.C. Cervantes

3.0

I always find it hard to rate kid lit. On the plus side, “The Storm Runner” was fast paced and the Mayan gods were interesting. The main character, Zane, has a disability that he comes to terms with, thanks to these adventures.

On the negative: Pretty formulaic, unnecessarily complicated, definitely written for a Disney-fied epic battle scene, and designed as a series. I can see the TV show, and I’m sure some kids would enjoy “The Storm Runner” … but adults will have a hard time with the derivative gods-vs-mortals plot and shallow characters.
