Slow Burn (Library Binding) (ISBN-13: 9781978598409)

Thirteen-year-old Baylor hasn't spent much time with his father, who works across the country as a fire lookout. But when Rob reaches out to invite him for the summer, Baylor jumps at the chance, thinking it will be a great adventure and a way to get to know his father for the first time. Despite the natural beauty of the mountains that surround them, their tight quarters and solitary existence lead to simmering tensions. As wildfire season heats up, Baylor and his father must keep their eyes out for danger--and try to kindle some sort of relationship after a lifetime apart.
