The friends are trying to escape from a forest fire that has consumed their home and destroyed everything they've ever known. Through this tragic event, they experience loss, hunger, and uncertainty, but with the help of a genie, three wishes, and some critical thinking, they are able to restore everything that was once lost.This story was inspired by the 2017 California wildfires caused by human activity. The objective of the story is to educate our future generations by awakening awareness, and responsible behavior through a fun writing style that motivates the young readers to sympathize with the main characters while enhancing their own critical thinking skills.
