Firegirl

Firegirl  By Tony Abbott
**** 4/5 stars   Fiction
When Jessica Feeny steps into Tom's class she doesn't look like most of the kids there. She is badly burned from a fire she does not want to talk about. When Tom develops an unsteady friendship with Jessica, he understands what it means to be in her shoes. What makes this book interesting is the character Jessica Feeny. Most people don't know anyone who has suffered a trauma like that. Tony Abbott really explains what it is like to know a girl like Jessica and what it is like to be her.
