For four generations, her family has manned the watchtower from April through August and beyond, scanning the view daily for signs of smoke. Aside from wintertime sojourns in the nearest town, this is the only life Opal has ever&nbsp;known, shared by her mother and grandmother. On her twelfth birthday, after the cake and presents, she begins her formal training with Gran. It\u2019s assumed she\u2019ll carry on the family tradition. But will she?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Opal loves her family, the New Mexico mountains, the forest and the fire tower, but she also longs for a normal life with school and friends. And beyond that, there\u2019s a secret she\u2019s keeping to herself: Since the Wolf Mountain Fire three years before, when she and her family had to be evacuated by helicopter in the nick of time, she\u2019s been terrified of fire. Anyone would be, but Opal also lost her firefighter father to the flames when she was too young to know him. This work is obviously in her family bloodstream, but does she have what it takes to carry it on? She won\u2019t know for sure until the inevitable test comes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even readers who assume a happy ending will be turning pages feverishly while all of Opal\u2019s support structure is ripped away and she has to make some agonizing choices by herself. She meets the challenge in ways that seem outside the ability of a twelve-year-old, but the verse-narrative form of the novel (which is very much stream-of-consciousness at the climax) makes her determination believable. I\u2019ll admit, though, I felt like yelling at the characters sometimes: No\u2014don\u2019t run off in the woods! Stay put! (But if they had listened to me, no story.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The author\u2019s extensive research shows in the details of a lookout\u2019s work and daily life, but even more in respect for nature. Fire has a place in our world, both creative and destructive, and sometimes both at once. \u201cOur God is a consuming fire\u201d should acquire more meaning after reading <em>The Burning Season<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-considerations-none\">Considerations: none<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bottom Line:<\/strong> Reflective, thoughtful, and thrilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-related-reading-from-redeemed-reader\">Related Reading From Redeemed Reader <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Reviews:<\/strong> Other books we&#8217;ve reviewed by Caroline Starr Rose are <em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/little-houses-on-the-prairie-may-b-and-hattie-big-sky\/\">May B.<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/blue-birds-by-caroline-starr-rose\/\">Blue Birds<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, and <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/jasper-riddle-rileys-mine-caroline-starr-rose\/\">Jasper and the Riddle of Riley\u2019s Mine<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.
