Wildfire was an exiting book. I loved reading it. Wildfire was about a place in the woods that was having wildfires and nobody was allowed to shot fireworks well some kids decided to shot fireworks. They only did one but of course it caused anouther wildfire.

I liked Wildfire because of the adventure. I liked when they had to run away from the fire that started because they set off a firework and the ash hit the tree and lit the branch.

I liked Wildfire's end because Elliot gave the dog to Ben.

[A.G., Mr. Boychuks 4th Grade Class, South Ward Elementary]

I really liked the middle of the book because there was a lot of action with the kids getting chased by wild boars!!!!

Wildfire! was rather nerve racking, especially when the kids were setting off the fireworks even though they weren't supposed to. It was a stupid thing to do. My favorite character was the dog because I just love animals.

During Florida's drought times, even when trained people are using the controlled burn method to prevent further fires, things can get out of hand. Adults and children must all be so careful.

The dog in this story reminded me of another title we are reading, No Dogs Allowed! by Bill Wallace. Did anyone else notice some connections between Kristine and Matt from that book and they feelings that Ben had in Wildfire! about wanting a puppy?

Wildfire is awesome because it is a mystery/adventure! And when the "wildfire" was going on it reminded us of last year when we saw and smelled smoke.

[j.a.s.]

Wild Fire was a great and amazing book. My favorite part was when the fireworks made the forest go on fire so Ben had to save the dog.

[p.k]

[Blake McDonald, MBES]

This was a very exciting book. There were instances of peer pressure when Ben set off fireworks for his friends even though he knew that it would start a fire.

[E.T.A./ms.cerrato's class]

Buddy seem's like an advendures dog. I wise I could have a dog just like him!

[N.C. Rio Vista]

This book teaches you not to light fireworks in the woods because it could start a wildfire.

I really enjoyed this book.After reading the first few pages, I found it hard to put down. This story also taught some valuable life lessons.
The suspense really added to it's interest.
