What They're Saying
Critics Review
Praise for Chasing Helicity. Meteorologist Ginger Zee deftly balances the science of storms, their fascination to storm chasers, and Helicity’s angst and family problems. Readers should easily relate to Helicity’s longing to follow her passion: “Wind, moisture, pressure, temperature–there was so much about the weather that she didn’t know, and so much she wanted to understand.” –Publisher’s Weekly
