[Frederick Muller <mullinator52@GMAIL.COM>]

Hopkinson, Deborah. Into the firestorm. Knopf, 2006 [0-375-93652-1]
Nicholas is an eleven-year-old orphan who runs away to San Francisco
in 1906 ... poor timing!  He just gets settled in a job when the
earthquake hits.  This 200 page book tells how Nicholas joins with his
neighbors as they try to survive the terrible destruction.  The
earthquake isn't as bad as the fires that follow afterward.  Everyone
is trying to move away from the fires which are spreading fast
throughout the city.  The reader gets wrapped up in the emotions of
Nicholas helping others and his confused loyalty towards his new
friends.  This is a great historical, survival, action story.
