I'm not sure specifically as I haven't read that exact story. But generally, a cliffhanger story leaves the reader in suspense at the end. It might involve a character in a difficult situation like being lost in a strange place or facing a mystery that isn't fully resolved by the end of the story.
Since I haven't read the story from Reading Street 4th grade about the 'Eye of the Storm', it's hard to say for sure. However, in many stories like this, the main characters are often those directly affected by the storm. So it might be the people living in the area where the storm hits. This could include families with children, local farmers, or fishermen who rely on the weather for their livelihoods. They would be the ones who have to face the challenges that the storm, and the unique situation of the eye of the storm, presents.
I don't know the exact characters without reading it, but it could be students, since it's a 4th - grade - level story. Maybe there's a smart and curious student, a friendly joker in the class, and a strict teacher who all get involved in the events of the story.
The main idea might be about a red kayak. Maybe it's an adventure related to the red kayak that the 5th graders in Reading Street experience.
I'm not sure exactly, but probably some 5th - grade students from Reading Street.
I'm not sure as I haven't read the specific story, but it could be a group of kids who discover the special effects.
Satchel Paige was a famous baseball player.
The 'Eye of the Storm' story in Reading Street 4th grade could be about various things. It might tell the story of a community facing a big storm. The eye of the storm is a very unique part, it's calm while all around is chaos. So it could be about how the characters in the story react to this strange and dangerous situation. They may have to make decisions on whether to stay put or try to move during this brief lull. Also, it could be about how they prepare for the other side of the storm that will hit them once the eye passes.
