Fire

Now with a bold new look!

Two strangers are in danger from the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 and opportunistic kidnappers in this gripping entry in the historical fiction middle grade Survivors series.

Nate Copper and his best friend Ryan love to sneak out at night to watch firefighters battle the blazes that have plagued Chicago all through the dry, windy summer of 1871.

Wealthy Julie Flynn, suffocated by her overprotective parents, can’t imagine adventures like Nate’s—and he’s definitely not a boy she would ever be friends with.

But fate and the Great Chicago Fire throw Nate and Julie together on the dark and dangerous streets, and in the chaos of the crowds, Julie is kidnapped. Nate has to try to figure out a way to free her before the wind-driven flames spreading across the city cut off their only chance of escape. Will Nate and Julie be able to survive?
