This would’ve been published at a very important time and I think it would give middle grade readers the chance to experience, process and realise what happens during incredibly destructive fires. It’s now 6 books deep with the seventh (and supposedly final now) book to be released next year. This was originally supposed to be the finale and end what was going to be a trilogy. Zelda’s parents are off being doctors in Africa or something, so Zelda is living with her elderly grandfather (himself a retired surgeon) whilst they are away. It’s about Felix’s granddaughter Zelda, named for the Zelda that was so important to him during those war years, a girl who has shaped his life and his existence. Now is set in the present day (the present day being 2009 in this case) and focuses around Black Saturday on 7th February 2009. In this case they’re all the same series so it just makes sense to give them a post together where I can say a little about each one. It’s time for another instalment of Mini Reviews, where I basically cheat and put a bunch of reviews into the same post because either a) I’m too lazy to write individual posts for each of them b) they’re too similar to warrant their own posts c) I don’t have enough to say about them to give them their own posts or d) all of the above.
