Flame is the sequel to Hero, which got rave reviews.
Reviews
"A rapid sequence of events begins right from the first pages of the book ... The author amusingly succeeds in giving the horses a voice, and their descriptions of humans and human-made phenomena are somewhat comical. The subtle presentation of the struggle of those on the autism spectrum with social situations is, in my opinion, well executed ... Fire is a story that keeps the reader engaged more or less from beginning to end and is an apt mix of humor, action, and seriousness."
Ragnheidur Birgisdottir, Morgunbladid Daily
“… stays with the reader for a long time and plays on a whole range of emotions. The book is a deserving read for all ages.”
