About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing social friction at a new activity or needs to see a model of resilience during a family crisis. Wildfire addresses the sting of workplace bullying and the anxiety of potential loss through the lens of a high stakes movie set. Alisa must navigate a hostile peer and a legal threat to her beloved horse, Diabolo, offering a grounded look at how professional pressure can test personal character. While the setting is an exciting Colorado movie set, the emotional core is about staying focused when others want you to fail. It is an excellent choice for middle-grade readers who are beginning to understand that life sometimes involves unfair challenges like legal disputes or professional jealousy. Parents will appreciate the way it balances adventurous escapism with realistic emotional problem solving.
