Stewart in this engrossing novel of a fire started by lightning in the dry heat of September, and fanned out of control by unexpected winds. The book begins with the origins of the fire--smoldering quietly at first, unnoticed, then suddenly bursting into a terrifying inferno, devouring trees and animals over acre after acre and leaving nothing but desolation in its wake. Firefighters and lookouts, forest rangers and smokejumpers--as well as animals in the forest, many of them the bewildered victims of the blaze, and all the varied trees and bushes there--are characters of this realistic story.","brand":"Emma Rothschild, George R Stewart","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46357424046316,"sku":"9781681378473","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9781681378473.jpg?v=1744385043","url":"https:\/\/intl.allstora.com\/products\/fire-2","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
