The Brushfire's Embers Waves of Flames
On a scorching July 3rd, best friends Ben, Janine, and her young sister, Millie, set off for Brown's Pharmacy, eager to witness a legendary ice cream spectacle before quickly stopping at the library to grab books and assist in testing the latest computers. But their simple summer outing takes an unexpected turn when they can't reach their parents for a ride home.
Braving the relentless heat, they opt for the scenic yet mysterious Belcher Pirate Trail, which leads them to the home of the wise and warm-hearted Mr. Tewksbury. His captivating stories and unexpected generosity delay their journey, but the real danger lies ahead.
Just as they set out again, they stumble upon reckless older teens setting off fireworks in the dry summer brush, igniting a wildfire that spirals out of control. As flames tear through the landscape, Janine finds herself in a desperate race against time to save Uncle Sam, Mr. Tewksbury's beloved Labrador, and escape the inferno engulfing the golf course. Their only refuge? The treacherous Snake Island-set to be the stage for the town's massive Fourth of July fireworks display.
Out of the frying pan and into the fire, Janine must summon every ounce of courage to survive. Will they make it out alive, or will the night's celebration turn into a fight for survival? Dive into this pulse-pounding adventure and discover Janine's fate in a blaze of action and suspense
