Product Description

Hinckley, Minnesota 1894

Carrie Vaughn and Daniel Johansson are both hoping desperately that the forest fires raging outside Hinckley won't reach town. Carrie has promised her Papa she'll take a train to safety, but she knows she won't -- how could she ever leave her beloved horse, Midnight, to die in the fire? And Daniel's grandmother refuses to leave their boardinghouse -- even if he can somehow raise the train fare.

When all the hoping in the world can't hold back the thick, suffocating smoke and uncontrollable flames, Carrie's disobedience and Grandma's stubbornness put them all in grave danger -- can they escape the merciless path of the fire in time?

Customer Reviews

One of the best Survival! books.
Survival! Forest Fire is a very good book. The setting is realistic, and the characters act like real people might. For example, Carrie Vaughn, who's father is a volunteer firefighter, disobeys her father when he tells her to take a train to St. Paul. She decides to stay with her horse, Midnight, instead. I think this action is realistic, although it isn't the smartest thing to do in a fire. This book, I think, is a little more exciting than the rest because some of the characters injure themselves, and that makes it harder to escape from the fire. This story was sort of like Survival! Fire, but more exciting, as I have said. I think Kathleen Duey and Karen A. Bale's description was fantastic. It really helped me imagine the setting in my mind. I would like to thank Kathleen Duey and Karen A. Bale on a job well done and encourage them to keep writing these series!

A very good Survival book.
