The boys never meant to cause trouble. They'd planned to go camping, but somehow the fire got started and soon all the lives and possessions of everyone along Ash Road were in jeopardy.


An amazing story of adventure and survival as a wildfire sweeps through the countryside.


To share the language of the book, here's a little excerpt:


“(The fire) came upon (Grandpa's) vision as something living and evil, shapeless and formless, constantly changing, huge beyond comprehension: an insane creature of immense greed consuming everything around it whether the taste pleased it or revolted it, rejecting what it did not care for only after it had mauled and savaged it, then pitching it aside or spitting it into the heavens.”
