Book Summary:
Finn and his friend, nicknamed Rabbit, live in a rural area that's been hit hard by wildfires. Families were displaced and school was interrupted. Moreover, their beloved forest is suffering- animals and plants haven't been able to come back and the two friends wonder if there's anything they can do to help. Rabbit's uncle, a science teacher, is part of a study that might help bring the forest back to life, but Finn and Rabbit wonder if the forest can wait. And what if another fire comes in the meantime? They believe a small part of the forest- the forest heart- that survived the wildfire may hold the key to regrowth- but first they must find it, and then convince the adults to listen.
For fans of Alan Gratz and Lauren Tarshis, this novel-in-verse is an uplifting story of what just one or two people can do to change the world.
