Sixteen-year-old Canny Mochrie's parents go away on a vacation,
so they send her off on a trip of her own with her stepbrother,
Sholto, and his opinionated girlfriend, Susan, who are interviewing
the survivors of a strange coal mine disaster and researching local
folklore in 1959 Southland, New Zealand. Canny is left to herself
to wander in a mysterious and enchanting nearby valley, occupied
almost entirely by children who all have the last name, Zarene, and
can perform a special type of magic that tells things how to be
stronger and better than they already are. With the help of a
seventeen-year-old boy who is held hostage in a hidden house by a
spell that is now more powerful than the people who first placed
it, Canny figures out why she, too, can use this special magic that
only Zarenes should know, and where she really came from. Printz
Honor author Elizabeth Knox has created another stunning world of
intrigue in "Mortal Fire."
