Timeless stories about bravery and the will to survive set against the backdrop of Canadian History Flames are bright against the night sky. Thirteen-year-old Emma watches with horrified fascination as they consume the family's log cabin, leaving her and her younger brother orphaned. These three books are set in the early 1830s.
