【Book review 12】

I read a book whose title is "FIRE READY". There is a boy Luca in this story. He does everything by himeself because his mother is busy working.
One day they prepared for a bushfire survival. He dressed in long pants, boots, gloves and a thick wollen top when he went out side. As Luca blocked the down pipes with gutter plugs, he thought back to the time when he and his mothr moved into the cottage. It had been the middle of spring, three months after the accident. Luca remembered how determined his mother had been about being fire ready. By two week, Luca's mother had organised one of the CFA offisers to come around. He even helped them draw up a bushfire survival plan. One that day, they carried out their plans perfectly. For days, the papers were full of it. There was news report after news report, describing how Luca had saved the cottage and himself while his mother took shelter at the local hall. In the arcticle, he said "Sometimes stuff just happens. There is nothing you can do to change it, and that's hard. But when you are prepared, at least you are there with a chance". I impressed by his this comment.
