Fires, Fights, and Two Teenage Boys!
What do they have incoming? Well, you will soon find out if you read "Inferno of Fear" by Franklin W. Dixon. As Frank and Joe Hardy the main characters who play their role excellent from the beginning to the end of every book in the series. As the plot unfolds around their wilderness adventure through Alaska's Denali National Park they can sense another mystery approaching. The two-week trip then turns out to be much longer that they planed on. With a hike to a lookout of Mount McKinley turning explosive and the radiating heat with the ability to singe the hairs on the back of a persons neck in one second. Then burst into flames the other and start the 16th forest fire in a row from the past 3 months. Later you get to find out about helicopter crashes, smoke jumpers, and much, much, more. Even the sentence fluency is incredible with this story as it has the ability to paint pictures with the most common words that are used in everyday conversation. "Joe grabbed Alex under the water and surfaced with him in a swirl of blazing branches and splintered boards. The massive old evergreen hissed in the buckled wreckage of the dock." Pg. 11 That's only the beginning of the story and trust me it get better. With the suspense of the story taking you up and down over all a believe that once you pick it up, you have a hard time trying to find a stopping point that will not leave you hanging. As my self only was ably to find one point and read it in two pushes over two days. If you love mysteries and adventure do a twofer and put them together. The Hardy Boys is what you will come up with.
