About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is starting to notice unfairness in their world or feels like their voice is too small to change things. Fire Flight is a darkly humorous adventure that addresses the importance of community activism and the courage required to challenge dishonest authority. Through the eccentric lens of the town of Wildpool, it explores how a few dedicated friends can protect local history and vulnerable neighbors from corporate and political greed. While the plot involves mysterious waxworks and political schemes, the heart of the story is about justice and collaboration. It is perfectly suited for children aged 8 to 12 who enjoy a mix of absurdity and mystery. Terry Deary uses his signature wit to make heavy themes like displacement and corruption accessible, providing a platform for parents to discuss how to stand up for what is right even when the adults in charge are acting wrongly.
