As the final year of the 20th century draws to a close, weird things are happening: floods, earthquakes, and force ten gales.

Now she is the Weather Eye with a clear, if daunting purpose - to save the world. Lesley Howarth's first novel The Flower King was shortlisted for the 1993 Whitbread Children's Novel Award and the Guardian Children's Fiction Award.
