4-6Firestormers series.
This new series centers on the skill, tenacity, and bravery of elite firestormers, who use technology to battle destructive forest fires; this volume is set in Klamath National Forest (a profile of the setting and a map precede the text). The narrative feels formulaic, but lots of action will hook reluctant readers. Refreshingly, strong female characters play key roles.
