rating:
This is a pretty good young/older readers book that tells a story not often told for this age group. It follows a young boy named Roberto as he tries to make his way across Sicily and then the Italian mainland during World War II after being held by the Nazis in a prisoner of war camp. It is a sequel to "Stones in the Water," which told of Roberto's time in the camp. While reading "Fire," I wish I had read the first book, as it would have made the groth of the character more compelling. As it is, Roberto's growth into one of the resistance fighters is quite impressive.
