Synopsis
A poignant novel about a boy's friendship with a burn victim is perfect for fans of R. J. Palacio's Wonder.
From the moment Jessica arrives, life is never quite the same for Tom and his seventh-grade classmates. Jessica was badly burned in a fire, and will be attending St. Catherine's while getting medical treatments.
Despite Jessica's shocking appearance and the fear she evokes in him and most of the class, Tom slowly develops a tentative friendship with Jessica that changes his life in just a short amount of time.
Firegirl is a powerful book that will show readers that even the smallest of gestures can have a profound impact on someone's life.

From AudioFile
Unremarkable Tom Benders predictable year at Saint Catherines is shaken up when Jessica Feeny arrives. She is temporarily enrolled while shes being treated at a local burn hospital. Sean Kenin employs a believable seventh-grade-boys voice as Tom navigates a lopsided, needy friendship with his only friend, Jeff Hicks, and imagines ways to attract the attention of the lovely Courtney Zisky. Kenin gives Tom the fast-paced, self-absorbed voice typical of the young adolescent. We hear him wrestle between the aversion he feels toward the hideously disfigured Jessica and the compassion he feels for a fellow outcast. As he comes out of his shell, he tentatively reaches out in friendship and finds a courage he didnt know he possessed.
