The Storm Tower Thief: The Lightning Catcher, Book 2

After getting booted out of Perilous Exploratorium for Violent Weather and Vicious Storms, Angus McFangus is back at the windmill with his Uncle Max and his wild, sometimes dangerous weather inventions. He's shooing one such invention away from his breakfast when a man shows up calling himself his Uncle Jeremius. After apologies for never being around -- he's been busy for years up in the Canadian Exploratorium -- he explains he's on his way to Perilous and has been sent to take Angus back to school. Angus is ecstatic. He's ready to continue his training as a Lightning Cub. But his enthusiasm is short-lived. Perilous is in a deep-deep freeze and constantly pelted with icicle storms, and it's crawling with lightning catchers from around the world gearing up to stop icicle storms from happening in the oddest parts of the world -- places that have never seen even a snowflake before. This is clearly the work of Dankhart, the evil lightning catcher who is holding Angus' parents in his dungeon. Angus thinks the freezing hallways and blizzard preparedness lessons are bad enough, until worse hits the school: a deadly weather pattern attacking everyone right inside Perilous.
