About Firebug
World War II has ended, but a fiery tomboy fights a whole new battle. When her struggles to save her mother from a scary mental hospital wreck her neighborhood kingdom, where can she turn? All Mary Lee’s fun is over. The nine-year-old troublemaker is used to running wild all summer with her best boy pal—climbing trees, catching water skippers, and lighting the best fires in Rexburg in their secret fort by the canal. After Grandma moves in to help look after Mother, Mary Lee fears the summer is ruined. When she hides in the living room and spies on Dad and her mother’s latest doctor, her happy-go-lucky world shatters when the awful fellow says he wants to stick her beautiful mother in the state mental hospital. Like the brave folks she writes a report about who helped save the Jewish people during the war, Mary Lee joins her dad’s resistance. Never. Praying night and day that her mother will get better, Mary Lee clashes with the neighborhood bully, her big brother, and even her best friend. Can her prayers and fights save Mother, or will the fires that burn inside Mary Lee burn out of control and destroy the world she loves? Firebug is a heartwarming historical middle grade novel. If you like spunky heroines’ emotional journeys, World War II era tales, and an honest portrayal of a mother’s mental illness, you’ll love Angela Morrison’s inspirational story.
