By Lyra Cindelshade

On November 8, 2018, the Camp Fire roared through Paradise, California, in what would become the deadliest wildfire in the state's history. Entire neighborhoods vanished in minutes, families were torn apart, and survival often depended on a single choice. Among the chaos, one school bus driver, Kevin McKay, made a decision that would save twenty-two children from certain death.

The Lost Bus: How Kevin McKay Saved 22 Children from the Camp Fire Inferno-The Untold Story of Survival in California's Deadliest Wildfire takes readers inside that unforgettable day. With gripping detail, it recounts the terrifying minutes as flames closed in, the desperate attempts to find a way out, and the extraordinary courage that turned an ordinary man into a hero.

More than a story of fire and destruction, this is a story of resilience, community, and the strength of the human spirit. It explores the scars that linger, the families forever changed, and the determination of a town rising from ashes to rebuild its future.
