Zane must save all the godborns as well as rescue his father who’s scheduled to be executed. (Ages 8 to 12)

--- Added from Google Books ---

Zane Obispo's new life on a beautiful secluded tropical island, complete with his family and closest friends, should be perfect. But he can't control his newfound fire skills yet (inherited from his father, the Maya god Hurakan); there's a painful rift between him and his dog ever since she became a hell hound; and he doesn't know what to do with his feelings for Brooks. One day he discovers that by writing the book about his misadventures with the Maya gods, he unintentionally put other godborn children at risk. Unless Zane can find the godborns before the gods do, they will be killed. To make matters worse, Zane learns that Hurakan is scheduled to be executed. Zane knows he must rescue him, no matter the cost. Can he accomplish both tasks without the gods detecting him, or will he end up a permanent resident of the underworld? In this cleverly plotted sequel to The Storm Runner, the gang is back together again with spirited new characters, sneaky gods, Aztec royalty, unlikely alliances, and secrets darker than Zane could ever have imagined. Secrets that will change him forever.

Zane Obispo prefers exploring the dormant volcano near his New Mexico home with his dog, Rosie, over dealing with the kids at middle school who tease him about his cane. But Zane's life flips upside down when a mysterious new girl named Brooks arrives and drops a massive bombshell: the volcano is actually a gateway to another world, and Zane is at the center of an ancient Maya prophecy. Even worse, he is destined to release a terrifyingly evil god from an ancient relic. When Zane and Brooks return to the volcano, all kinds of crazy breaks loose. Brooks transforms into a hawk, demons attack, and Rosie risks everything to protect Zane. To save his dog and survive the coming war between the gods—one of whom happens to be his own father—Zane must embrace his destiny and become the Storm Runner. But how can he run when he can barely walk? Dive into this action-packed mythological adventure full of dangerous secrets, surprising discoveries, and epic battles.
