So my family are from Nelson, they were evacuated from their home in the bush fires there.. this story is a little more nonfiction for me than it used to be!
This story is also based on the real deal and is a thrilling read that brought together all the fear, confusion, tragedy and uncertainty of the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires in which 173 people lost their lives


Zeelie wonders if they're in danger. 
When temperatures soar to 47 degrees one hot summer day, 12-year-old Zeelie hopes the neraby bushfires everyone's talking about aren't heading towards her family's new home. What will they do if the wind changes direction? What about their belongings and their beloved pets? And why hasn't her mum and brother returned from Melbourne? 
Nothing can prepare Zeelie for what's to come.

A fast-paced and poignant novel of survival for young readers by Justin D'Ath that draws on his own experience of escaping the 2009 Black Saturday Bushfires.
