A destructive force is about to hit the city of Joplin...
Eleven-year-old Dexter has always wanted to see a tornado. So when he gets the incredible opportunity to go storm chasing with the famous Dr. Norman Rays, he has to say yes! Dr. Rays is the host of Tornado Mysteries, the show that Dex and his older brother, Jeremy, watched every night until Jeremy joined the U.S. Navy SEALs and left Joplin.
Dex certainly knows how deadly tornadoes can be, but this one isn't heading toward Joplin, and wouldn't it be great to have a brave and exciting story of his own to tell Jeremy when he comes home? But when the tornado shifts direction, Dexter's bravery is about to get seriously tested...

I loved im fan of the i survived series
This is souch a good book and cool charaters.
I definitley thout it could be better.
"I Survived the Joplin Tornado" is about a kid called Dexter and while he was riding his bike and gets hit by a car but it was Docter Norman Gage the storm chaser.He invites Dexter to ride with him tomorrow.When the day comes he is exicited but after the detect a super cell they turn around but the tornado got them.They were in the middle of the tornado and saw a "storm of wood and metal and leaves churned all around them then a lawn mover dropped out of the sky".
I Survived is one of my favorite books I read this year and I really wish it was longer. It is a miraculous story about a town that gets hit by an EF-5 tornado and how they came together and rebuilt there city from scratch after everything was destroyed. All of the I Survived books in the series are great learning tools to teach about the past events of history.
I Survived the Joplin Tornado is an amazing book! It tells about how a fictional character survived a nonfiction and historical event, just like the other I Survived books. I definitely think it is a fun way to learn about historical events, and is a very touching story.
it never lets me read the whole book on here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
This book you just can't explain it it's so good i didn't want to stop reading it.
i love this bookso miuch
