Description
Addy's journey to self-discovery begins in the wilderness. After years of being raised by her grandmother following a devastating fire that took her parents' lives, Addy is enrolled in a summer programme to learn new skills and find companionship among five other Black city kids. As they venture into the forest, they discover the importance of teamwork and trust in order to survive. However, their newfound friendships are put to the test when a furious forest fire breaks out, forcing them to rely on each other for safety. This powerful survival tale explores issues of race, class, and climate change, as Addy learns to find her own voice and instincts amidst the chaos. Through Addy's story, Jewell Parker Rhodes tackles tough themes with sensitivity and nuance, creating a compelling coming-of-age narrative that will resonate with readers.
