(More customer reviews)Ever since her father and his plane disappeared in the Caribbean, Kaylee has been afraid to fly. Now, in the midst of a raging forest fire, the only way to safety is resting on pontoons at the end of the dock.
Will Kaylee be able to overcome her fear and fly herself and her dog out of the fire?
"From a twisted ankle, to saving the life of a neighbour, the reader is treated to drama and surprises that make this work creep from 'good' into 'excellent' territory. By mid-way through this book, it is my opinion, that this book is very hard to put down." John Dryden, Resource News.
"...there are plenty of details to the plot which will keep readers interested to the end. Kaylee also learns that loved ones are always in some sense with us. Recommended for ages 7 to 10." Denise Moore, Hi-Rise magazine, December 2002.

Kaylee used to love to fly. With two pilots for parents, how could she not? But when her father's plane goes down and neither the wreckage nor his body is found, she develops a terror of flying. She is too afraid to convince her mother to take her back to the Caribbean to search for her father. And she is haunted by fear whenever her mother goes up to fight fires in a water bomber. Kaylee escapes her fear and her grief on treks with her dog, Sausage, through the forest, the Big Tangle, near her home. But, one day, fire follows her into the forest and events conspire against her until the only escape is resting on pontoons at the dock on Booker Bay.
