The Maloneys' Magical Weatherbox by Nigel Quinlan

Neil and Liz Maloney's father is the Weatherman; he has been given the extremely important responsibility of ushering in each new season and sending away the old one. As next in line to become the Weatherman, Neil learns how to answer the call coming from the magical phone booth four times a year. But the new season--and the entire world--is in jeopardy when the phone doesn't ring at the end of summer, and Mrs. Fitzgerald from next door seems to be responsible. Neil, Liz, their parents, and a mysterious visitor (with the help of the shieldsmen and a kitten-shaped bog beast) must fight against the evil forces that seek to control the weather.

Fans of Doctor Who may be drawn in the by the phone box on the cover, but this story is more fantasy/adventure than science fiction. While this isn't the most riveting story, it is an enjoyable read will hold readers' attention.
