The Surge by Roland Smith
The adventure continues in the second part of the action packed series Storm Runners. Chase and his friends, Nicole and Rashawn, have just survived Hurricane Emily, the storm of the century, but their troubles are just beginning. They've made it to Nicole's family's farm -the winter home of the Rossi Brothers' Circus- the floodwaters are rising and they need to reach higher ground fast, but the circus lions have broken out of their cages and a dangerous leopard is also on the loose. Read The Surge to find out what happens.

Calling all families! The Dayton Art Institute's Norman Rockwell exhibit ends February 5th and you don't want to miss it!!

Sometimes happy, as the kids caught swimming where they shouldn't and sometimes tragic, as little Ruby breaking barriers and attending an all white school, these paintings are sure to inspire you. And before you leave, ham it up!! Pose and have your picture taken in front of a life-size Saturday Evening Post cover! Props are available and photos taken by the museum staff.
