A very good Survival book.

Thirteen-year-old Carrie's father told her to leave Hinckley on the train if the forest fire reached town - but Carrie doesn't want to leave her horse. Daniel, one of Carrie's friends, wants to leave Hinckley on the train - but he can't persuade his grandmother to come until it's too late. How will Carrie and Daniel manage to escape?
One of the best Survival! books.

Survival! Forest Fire is a very good book. The setting is realistic, and the characters act like real people might. For example, Carrie Vaughn, who's father is a volunteer firefighter, disobeys her father when he tells her to take a train to St. Paul. She decides to stay with her horse, Midnight, instead. I think this action is realistic, although it isn't the smartest thing to do in a fire. This book, I think, is a little more exciting than the rest because some of the characters injure themselves, and that makes it harder to escape from the fire. This story was sort of like Survival! Fire, but more exciting, as I have said. I think Kathleen Duey and Karen A. Bale's description was fantastic. It really helped me imagine the setting in my mind. I would like to thank Kathleen Duey and Karen A. Bale on a job well done and encourage them to keep writing these series!
