'The author has the power to get inside his characters.'—The New York Times 'Conveys with insight the reactions, fears, perplexities, ignorances and behavior of children in a real adult world.' Washington Post ‘The novel is a chronicle of fire and panic, of intense and remarkable perception, and of almost inexhaustibly vivid descriptive language… unforgettable.’ Wall St Journal ‘The description of the fire and the atmosphere of the day are so vividly described…deservedly classic story.’ ReadPlus It's hot and dry on Ash Road, where three boys taste their first independence, camping without adults.
