Book Description Softcover. Condition: New. From School Library Journal Grade 5-8-Determined Garth, always-hungry Danny, man-hating Kelsey, and spiritual Aboriginal Hinu are college students clearing forest trees in New Zealand on a school break, trying to raise money for a class trip to Hawaii. The morning's work is interrupted by two boys riding homemade all-terrain vehicles. The sparks fly as one driver loses control and flips his bike, but the resulting small fire seems controllable until the vehicle explodes. The teens, their supervisor, and the other rider don't have the resources to fight the blaze themselves. The flames lick at their backs as they hike paths recommended by Hinu in search of an emergency station. She leads them through rough passages that challenge the team physically and emotionally. This story constantly gives an adrenaline rush. Hill does an excellent job of giving his characters depth, keeping readers involved in the group's attempt to escape, and offering insight into the environmental and spiritual issues involved in forestry. Running Hot is a good fit for reluctant readers, and would also work well as a read-aloud.-Sarah Krygier, Solano County Library, Fairfield, CA Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
