Weather Eye Summary

Weather Eye by Howarth Lesley

A reissue of a brilliantly imaginative and funny novel by a multi award-winning author. Telly Craven lives on a windfarm with her parents and her young brother Race. Telly is a Weather Eye, part of an international youth club that shares information about climatic conditions around the world. And, as the final year of the twentieth century draws to a close, weird things are happening: floods, earthquakes; force ten gales...It's during such a storm that Telly is struck by the heavy cladding of a turbine blade and has a Near Death Experience', leaving her with strange psychic powers. Now she is the Weather Eye with a clear, daunting purpose: to save the world. The adventures that follow are by turns dramatic, gripping and intensely funny.
