[SOLVED] Have synopsis, need help identifying book title please

Kids or younger reader book. Fantasy genre.

In this book world weather can be controlled by sorcerers, and especially powerful sorcerers can summon dragons. When the sorcerers die the dragons vanish, except in the case of the most powerful sorcerers where their dragon is buried with them. The villain wanted the scales of the blue dragon that belonged to a sorcerer. There were also weather spells that were too destructive and were trapped, including the scarlet snow that made people fall asleep. The villain was holding the main character's parents hostage. The main character can summon a dragon. The main character is going to school to become a meteorologist

Other key words that may or may not be the same story -- Yeti, ball lightning, jar, lab, gardening supply shop

    Scarlet Snow is not a bad one if that is a really big part of the book as opposed to some historical fact.

    A few other suggestions:
    Dragon Storm
    Forecast: Dragons (cheesy, but if this is for kids and not young adults I think it could work)
    Blue Sky(ies)
    Weathering

    edit: I just realized you might be looking for a book already written, not title ideas! Are you perhaps thinking of The Lightning Catcher?

    Are you asking the title of an existing book, or help coming up with a title for your own book?

      I would assume based on their inclusion of the 'tipofmytongue' tag that they're describing a book they once read, but they can't remember the title of it. So that's what they're asking people to help them identify, since /r/tipofmytongue is often used for that sort of thing.

      I edited the title to make that a bit more clear. But if I was wrong in my assumption, and you are actually looking for title recommendations for something you have written, please let me know and I can change it back, @chocobean.

        tipofmytongue is one of the best possible examples about how a giant blob of people will be able to source good answers based on very little infirmation from hazy memory blurbs. The kind search engines alone only dream about being able to do.

        I for one welcome more posts in this vein. Internet sluething is almost always interesting content.

          I'd love for us to give it a try :) it's truly amazing when it's something insanely vague or even totally misremembered, and folks will still get it!

    Are you looking for a book you read as a kid and can't remember the title of or for suggestions for a book you're working on? Sorry, I'm just a bit uncertain from the post.
