“The terror of the 1906 disaster is brought
powerfully alive.”—School Library Journal
Into the Firestorm
A Novel of San Francisco, 1906
DEBORAH HOPKINSON
THE YEAR IS 1906, and Nicholas Dray steals away from the hot cotton
fields to that Queen of Cities: San Francisco. Gran’s gone now, and Nick is
on his own for the first time, until he meets Pat Patterson, owner of the
most beautiful store—and the friendliest golden dog—in all the city. But
early one morning the walls begin to shake. A devastating earthquake and
then raging firestorms ravage the city, and Nick, right in the middle of it all,
must choose: escape to safety or stay—at deadly risk—to help others?
“Engrossing.”—Booklist
“Based on eyewitness accounts, the tale brings to life an event young
readers will find fascinating.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Middle graders in search of quick, entertaining historical fiction—ideal for
book reports—should take a look.”—The Bulletin
Deborah Hopkinson is the author of many acclaimed books for young
readers. She lives in Oregon.
