Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

When Axel and his family take a rafting trip down the swift Salmon River, they sense little risk when smoke appears in the quiet, dry wilderness. Suddenly, orange flames flash dangerously near, and Axel isn't so sure of their safety anymore. Before long, they are caught in a blazing forest and must search for a safe hideout. Will Axel and his family make the right call before the roaring fire gets too close? In this second story about the adventures of Axel, acclaimed nature writer Jean Craighead George and award-winning artist Wendell Minor recount the riveting tale of a fearsome fire storm and the cycle of regeneration that follows.

Synopsis:

Axel, along with his aunt and uncle and dog, Grits, are on the river-kayaking adventure of a lifetime. But when flames suddenly flash dangerously near, Axel knows his family is in trouble. Before long, they are caught in a blazing fire storm and need to find a shelter where they can wait out the fire safely. For young outdoor adventurers, nature lovers, and thrill seekers alike, Jean Craighead George and Wendell Minor tell the exciting tale--based on a true story--of a fearsome forest fire and the gentle cycle of regeneration that follows.

Synopsis:

“ Minor’ s realistic pencil– crayon illustrations capture the rugged landscape of cliffs and sloping mountains. The story is related calmly and with reverence for nature.”
