Firegirl

Firegirl
by Tony Abbott


Tom is your typical seventh grader trying to make it through the school year.  He has some friends, he loves cars, has a crush, and has some doubts about himself. 

When Jessica, a burn victim, joins his class his life becomes a little more difficult. He is forced to make some challenging decisions.  Is he going to ignore her like everyone else?  Is he going to make fun of her behind her back? Is he going to spread rumors about her accident?  Even though this book shows students going through their daily lives, Firegirl is really all about deciding who you want to be.
