When I first started reading this book, I was really skeptical because it felt exactly like reading The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan.
Before he realizes what is going on, he is in a battle of life or death, while holding the fate of the world in his hands. On his first day at his new school, he meets a beautiful girl surrounded by mystery. Little does he know, deep in the center of the volcano is an ancient relic that is tied to Zane and the future of humanity. He has always felt a connection to this volcano, and it is where he spends most of his free time. The best part of living in the desert was the dormant volcano that was practically in his backyard. To survive, Zane will have to become the Storm Runner.Zane Obispo has always been a social outcast, and living in the New Mexican Desert with elderly neighbors didn’t help that situation. When Zane decides to save his dog no matter the cost, he is thrust into an adventure full of surprising discoveries, dangerous secrets, and an all-out war between the gods, one of whom happens to be his father. Brooks turns into a hawk, a demon attacks them in a cave, and Rosie gives her all while trying to protect Zane. Together they return to the volcano, where all kinds of crazy happens.
A new girl at school, Brooks, informs him that he’s destined to release an evil god from the ancient Maya relic he is imprisoned in–unless she can find and remove it first.
What Zane doesn’t know is that the volcano is a gateway to another world and he is at the center of a powerful prophecy. He’d much rather hang out there with his dog, Rosie, than go to middle school, where kids call him Sir Limps a Lot, McGimpster, or Uno–for his one good leg. A contemporary adventure based on Maya mythology from Rick Riordan Presents! Zane has always enjoyed exploring the dormant volcano near his home in New Mexico, even though hiking it is challenging.
