Escape from Fire Mountain
    “… 
please anybody … fire … need help
.”
    That’s the urgent cry thirteen-year-old Nikki Roberts hears over the CB radio the weekend she’s left alone in her family’s hunting lodge. The message also says that the sender is trapped near a bend in the river. Nikki knows it’s dangerous, but she has to try to help. She paddles her canoe downriver, comingcloser to the thick black smoke of the forest fire with each stroke. When she reaches the bend, Nikki climbs on shore. There, covered with soot and huddled on a rock ledge, sit two small children.
    Nikki struggles to get the children to safety. Flames roar around them. Trees splinter to the ground. But as Nikki tries to escape the fire, she doesn’t know that two poachers are also hot on her trail. They fear that she and the children have seen too much of their illegal operation—and they’ll do anything to keep the kids from making it back to the lodge alive.
The Rock Jockeys
    Devil’s Wall
.
    Rick Williams and his friends J.D. and Spud—the Rock Jockeys—are attempting to become the first and youngest climbers to ascend the north face of their area’s most treacherous mountain. They’re also out to discover if a B-17 bomber rumored to have crashed into the mountain years ago is really there.
    As the Rock Jockeys explore Devil’s Wall, they stumble upon the plane’s battered shell. Inside, they find items that seem to have belonged to the crew, including a diary written by the pilot. Spud later falls into a deep hole and finds something even more frightening: a human skull and bones. To find out where they might have come from, the boys read the pilot’s story in the diary. Could he have eaten a crewmate to survive? And if Devil’s Wall could force a trained pilot to do
that
, what dangers might the mountain hold for the Rock Jockeys?
