Storm Signals: A Military Rescue Adventure for Kids 9-12 (Baseball, Navy SEALs, and One Epic Storm) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798186077091)

His dad's jet went down on the wrong side of the storm. Cam is the only one who knows the mountain. Twelve-year-old catcher Cam Navarro is on a Pacific island for a Navy goodwill baseball tournament when the biggest typhoon in a generation slams ashore - and his father's F/A-18 goes down over the mountains while flying first-look over a cut-off village. Good chute. Then four seconds of static. When the relief helicopter Cam is loading is forced to launch ahead of the storm with him aboard - and then forced down - Cam finds himself on the wrong side of the island with a team of Navy SEALs, a flooded river, a village that needs digging out, and a weather window that keeps shrinking. He's not a soldier. He's a kid with a catcher's brain, a strong arm, and one thing nobody else on the mountain has: thirty secret baseball signs that only his father can read.

Readers will find:

• Short chapters, relentless cliffhangers, and real rescue-mission detail (ejection seats, carrier flight decks, hoist rescues) that rings true
• Fighter pilots, Navy SEALs, and helicopter crews shown the way military families know them: competent, funny, human
• Baseball woven through everything - the signs, the teamwork, the bottom-of-the-ninth extraction from a village ballfield
• Courage without gore, stakes without nightmares: no combat, one storm, everyone plays their position
• Dramatic full-page illustrations, a glossary of real Navy terms, and an author's note on the real-life relief operation that inspired the story

For fans of survival thrillers and military adventure - and for every kid who's ever practiced signs in the backyard with their dad. One kid. One storm. The whole roster.
