""An exciting action-hero adventure centered on a compelling and competent narrator.""-Kirkus Reviews ""Fireboy is a story jam-packed with mystery, action, humour, and surprises. You'll never look at science class or elementals the same way again."" - Arthur Slade, Governor General's Award-winning author of Dust ""A gripping read! . . . Sam's engaging narrative voice in Fireboy is certain to draw readers into this mystery in which things are far from what they appear to be, and Sam herself is plunged deeper and deeper into mortal danger. Highly recommended!""-Alison Lohans, award-winning author of more than thirty books for young readers and adults ""Edward Willett's Fireboy is a joy to read. His charming and clever main character faces an interesting and unusual situation that feels both like fantasy and like science fiction...the plot is quite exciting and kept me rapidly turning pages. An enjoyable book all around."" - L. Jagi Lamplighter, author of The Books of Unexpected Enlightenment ""A murderous tangle of kidnappings, treachery, weird alchemy, and an ancient evil that never dies."" - Matt Hughes, author of The Emir's Falcon
