About this title

Synopsis

by Steven Weissman
Even though he's just a poor orphaned boy, it's a well-known fact that there's no greater firefighter than Olaf Oedwards, a.k.a. "Kid Firechief!" And if you've ever wondered what would happen if the greatest firechief of all-time fought one of the greatest fires of all-time, you'll find the answer here in this charming graphic novel for children of all ages. Weissman's charming and respectful approach mixes an absurdist sense of humor with very human emotion to create a deceptively simple and very charming book.
