| Summary: | "It's spring in Green River, and Zeke is keeping an eye on the rapidly warming weather. His Mood Meter starts to wobble as he notices cracks in the river ice near his school ... could the spring thaw mean a flood is coming? Things are looking up when Zeke's hero, local meteorologist Freeze Jones, asks him to join his elite crew of Weather Watchers. He'll get to study the weather daily and provide firsthand observations that will help with the forecast! At school, Miss Li assigns Zeke the part of a singing asteroid in a play about the solar system. But how could Zeke possibly care about the play when the wacky spring weather was full of high winds and changing temperatures? He would rather be following the first rule of being a Weather Watcher: Keep your eyes on the skies. While at the library researching flood zones in his town, Zeke's Mood Meter sinks to negative 50 degrees -- half of Green River is in a floodplain, including the school! If the school auditorium floods, the play might get cancelled ... but as much as Zeke is dreading the play, his duty as a Weather Watcher comes first. And when a flash flood warning whisks the whole town into a panic, it's up to Zeke and the rest of the Weather Watcher crew to remain calm and help everyone stay safe."-- |
