Summary

Virgil is making his older siblings trek to a mountain lake on a trip unlike any they've taken before. They carry precious cargo- the ashes of their beloved mother, who asked that her remains be scattered at her favourite spot. Then a forest fire is sparked by a bolt of lightning at the exact moment when their van breaks down, and the journey quickly turns to disaster. Virgil finds himself separated from his brother and sister. With the fire moving closer and closer, he isn't sure he can make it alone in the wilderness. But with the memory of his late mother, a science teacher, and all her lessons about the ecosystem and fire safety to guide him, he quickly learns that survival starts with letting go of your fears and taking action.
