Unfolding amid the relentless wildfires engulfing California, Lauren Tarshis's gripping narrative follows two children who brave the ferocious flames and, amidst the devastation, discover hope amidst the ashes. In the midst of Northern California's ever-looming wildfire threat, the catastrophic 2018 fire season struck with unprecedented fury, marking it as the deadliest in a century and the most ruinous in history. In the 20th installment of the I Survived series, readers journey alongside eleven-year-old Josh as he departs his New Jersey home for the rustic environs of rural northern California, where his cousins reside. Wrestling with the aftermath of life-altering challenges that propelled him and his mother across the country, Josh grapples with adapting to a simpler, more grounded lifestyle vastly different from his accustomed urban existence. Amid shared moments over tacos, reptiles, and laughter, Josh and his cousin forge bonds, but their camaraderie is tested when a forest outing thrusts them into the path of a rapidly advancing firestorm, a searing behemoth poised to ravage millions of acres of wilderness and potentially their town. As Josh confronts simmering family tensions, he must first navigate the inferno encircling him, striving to emerge unscathed from the flames roaring all around.
