    About this series

    It's a typical night for high school senior Jack Danielson. A star football player, he just broke the league rushing record, celebrated at the local diner, and got shot down (again) by his girlfriend. Jack feels he's having "the most normal senior year a guy could have" in "the most normal little town in America." He couldn't be more wrong. His football exploits were featured on the television news, and now he's in terrible danger. Jack learns his mom and dad are not his real parents. In fact, everything he knows is a lie. The truth is, Jack's a powerful guardian from the future sent back to prevent an ecological disaster. But now the Dark Army knows how to find him-and they're coming fast. Firestorm has received glowing critical praise, including starred reviews from Publishers Weekly and School Library Journal. Author David Klass, an acclaimed Hollywood screenwriter, crafts a lightning-paced fantasy. "The relentless pace, coupled with issues of ecology, time travel, self-identity, and sexual awakening, makes for a thrilling and memorable read."-School Library Journal, starred review

    Author

    David Klass

    David Klass is the author of many young adult novels, including You Don't Know Me, Losers Take All, and Grandmaster. He is also a Hollywood screenwriter, having written more than twenty-five action screenplays, including Kiss the Girls, starring Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd, Walking Tall, starring The Rock, and Desperate Measures, starring Michael Keaton and Andy Garcia. Klass grew up in a family that loved literature and theater-his parents were both college professors and writers-but he was a reluctant reader, preferring sports to books. But he started loving the adventure stories his parents would bring home from the library-particularly Jack London, Robert Louis Stevenson and Alexandre Dumas. After his sister twice won a story contest in Seventeen magazine, Klass decided he would win it too, and when he was a senior in high school, he did, publishing his first story, "Ringtoss," in the magazine. He studied at Yale University, where he won the Veech Award for Best Imaginative Writing. He taught English in Japan, and wrote his first novel, The Atami Dragons, about that experience. He now lives in New York with his wife and two children.

      'Stranger Things' Returns to the Upside Down

      Oct 26, 2017

      The element of surprise and Reagan-era nostalgia rendered the Netflix series "Stranger Things" a breakout when it arrived last year complete with monsters, mad scientists and mullets. For those viewers who happened upon the quirky little show while combing through their congested Netflix queue, it felt as if they'd finally made a diamond-in-the-rough discovery. The show, an homage to '80s sci-fi and horror films, followed the disappearance of a boy from a small town in Indiana, and the subsequent arrival of a mystery girl with psychokinetic powers. Three nerdy seventh-graders set out to solve
