With a hurricane approaching Florida, their effort to protect the storks connects a fantastical mystery to climate change and the vulnerability of the natural world. Friendship, destiny, and environmental care are woven into this magical-realism story, whose central dilemma asks what two young people can do when a rare species is at risk.

Cordelia believes in facts. Frano believes in destiny. They're as different as storm clouds and sunshine--until they discover three baby white storks that glow with mysterious light. No one else can see the glow, just Cordelia and Frano--and she wants nothing to do with the boy. Yet with a massive hurricane barreling toward Florida, the birds' very survival depends on this unlikely pair. Glow pulses with light and with unforgettable characters. A magical realism story that aims for--and captures--the heart. For anyone who loved Haven Jacobs Saves the Planet or Willodeen.
