The Flaming Trap
Book 5 of the An American Adventure series
175 pages · First published 1990
Hildy and her companions encounter a threat in which fire becomes both a physical danger and part of a deliberate trap. Escape depends on recognizing the danger quickly and acting together rather than panicking. The crisis exposes the intentions of people willing to use destruction to get what they want, raising the stakes beyond an accidental blaze. Lee Roddy continues the American Adventure series with fast juvenile suspense, Christian moral choices, and young protagonists whose courage is measured by how they respond when there is almost no time to think.
