THE FIRE-EATERS

Bobby Burns knows he's a lucky lad. Growing up in sleepy Keely Bay, Bobby is exposed to all manner of wondrous things: stars reflecting off the icy sea, a friend that can heal injured fawns with her dreams, a man who can eat fire. But darkness seems to be approaching Bobby's life from all sides. Bobby's new school is a cold, cruel place. His father is suffering from a mysterious illness that threatens to tear his family apart. And the USA and USSR are testing nuclear missiles and creeping closer and closer to a world-engulfing war.

Together with his wonder-working friend, Ailsa Spink, and the fire-eating illusionist McNulty, Bobby will learn to believe in miracles that will save the people and place he loves.

Bobby Burns stie ca este un baiat norocos. Crescand in Keely Bay somnoros, Bobby este expus la tot felul de lucruri minunate: stele care se reflecta pe marea inghetata, un prieten care poate vindeca puii raniti cu visele ei, un barbat care poate manca foc.
