Summary:
"Addy is haunted by the tragic fire that killed her parents, leaving her to be raised by her grandmother. Now, years later, Addy's grandmother has enrolled her in a summer wilderness program. There, Addy joins five other Black city kids -- each with their own troubles -- to spend a summer out west. Deep in the forest the kids learn new (and to them) strange skills: camping, hiking, rock climbing, and how to start and safely put out campfires. Most important, they learn to depend upon each other for companionship and survival. But then comes a devastating forest fire . . . Addy is face-to-face with her destiny and haunting past. Developing her courage and resiliency against the raging fire, its up to Addy to lead her friends to safety. Not all are saved. But remembering her origins and grandmothers teachings, shes able to use street smarts, wilderness skills, and her spiritual intuition to survive."-- Provided by publisher.
