Rick Riordan Presents: Storm Runner, The Paperback – August 20, 2019
Purchase options and add-ons
"A perfect storm of inspiring heroes, surprising twists, and some seriously scary monsters. This hilarious, expertly-plotted adventure keeps you racing through the pages and leaves you desperate for the next book (and craving a steaming mug of hot chocolate)!" --Shannon Messenger, New York Times best-selling author of the Keeper of the Lost Cities series and the Sky Fall series
Zane has always enjoyed exploring the dormant volcano near his home in New Mexico, even though hiking it is challenging. 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. 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.
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. Together they return to the volcano, where all kinds of crazy happens. Brooks turns into a hawk, a demon attacks them in a cave, and Rosie gives her all while trying to protect Zane.
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. To survive, Zane will have to become the Storm Runner. But how can he run when he can't even walk well without a cane?
Endorsed by Rick Riordan, author of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, soon to be a series on Disney+.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2024Amazing book! Our Homeschool 7th graders love it and we aren't even half way through yet!! They are waiting to read the next chapter!!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2024Arrived in good condition, and I also love the book. Really interesting, in a good way. Would definitely recommend for those who like different types of mythology
- Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2018Let me just start by saying it was Rick Riordan who hooked me on this genre. As an adult, though, at some point his writing no longer spoke to me. It just wasn't fresh or new anymore. Enter Cervantes with a fresh voice. I received this book in the mail on a Friday night and had it finished in 24 hours. It is action packed, which kept me reading. Cervantes writing is funny and her characters are like-able. Your root for Zane and Brooks up to the end. I appreciated Zane's insecurity over his lame leg. This is a great read for students who like action and adventure. The Maya mythology and culture was a nice #ownvoices touch.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2024Haven't been able to find something to read so I went out of my normal genre and am I glad I did. This is a fun engaging read for both adults middlegraders and anyone in between. This story is a beautiful journey following the character Zane Obispo as he grows into his lineage. Book one is packed with lots of vivid descriptions and thoughtful images of Myan Mythology. I enjoyed it and would recommend it as a light adventure filled read! J.C. Cervantes did an excellent job bringing these characters to life.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2020I love, love, love this book. Myth-fantasy books are my thing. I love to teach them to middle school age kids and this one really satisfies! My students were cringing, oohing and ahhhing. They loved the audiobook so much that I often heard them imitating Ozzie Rodriguez's narration for the god of death-Ah Puch. It works as a teaching tool or a fun read and the art my kids created for Mayan gods was amazing! They were spending their allowances to buy the sequel! If you liked Percy Jackson or Harry Potter you have got to give this book a try!

Images in this review - Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2018I'm an avid fan of Rick Riordan, and happily followed his works from Percy Jackson through the Kane Chronicles, Heroes of Olympus, Magnus Chase, and Trials of Apollo series.
So naturally, when I found out about the Rick Riordan Presents series, I was ready to follow it. The Storm Runner is a book that brings importance to my life as a Latino, as this book deals with Maya Mythology. It's a wonderful read that has great twists and a wonderful plot. Highly recommended.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2021As I said in the heading, this book is so good. I love that its based in New Mexico, and that it incorporates Maya mythology. Beautiful! Amazing! I would definetely recommend this book to anyone. Enjoy the read!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2020My son has to read this over the summer for his 6th grade next year. I read it first because it's fun to talk about books. I liked it and he seems to be enjoying it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rick Riordan Presents at its best!
Zane is a kid who's the son of a Mayan god and he and his friend Brook are ready to save the world in each of the three books. Smart and witty, another tale of the gods appear. This is amazing (insert jazz hands) and for all readers who enjoyed Rick Riordan and Rick Riordan Presents, here's another excellent series with a modern depiction of the gods with humour and cleverness. If you enjoyed this, next stop for you is Aru Shah and the End of Time or the Percy Jackson books!

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved the book !
This was a fast-paced story with tons of Mayan mythology. I liked the way Zane changed during the course of the book as he found his courage and his destiny. The perfect book for anyone who likes Rick Riordan, mythology, or just fun adventure novels with likeable, relatable characters! Had a great time reading this book, while learning more about Mayan mythology.
This first book in the series was my favorite last year and the second book is one of my faves this year!
