She, Mom, and Gran live at ten thousand feet in a single room at the top of a fire tower. They are responsible for spotting any hint of smoke before it becomes an uncontrollable blaze. But Opal has a secret: she's deathly afraid of fire. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInstead of training for the lonely life of a lookout, Opal wishes she could be starting seventh grade in Silver City, attending classes with kids her own age.
