I was expecting this story to be about a bush fire, but that part is all over in the first few chapters. Most of the book is about three siblings, Michelle, Andrew and Jason, surviving after the fire.

Good read, very enjoyable, makes me look forward to having Grandchildren (many years in advance) so I can re-read it to them. As an adult I liked the fact that it tells you never to put petrol on a fire always good to tell children about health and safety around fires.
