Planes: Fire & Rescue The Junior Novelization

by Suzanne Francis

"Planes: Fire & Rescue" features a quirky crew of elite firefighting aircraft devoted to protecting historic Piston Peak National Park from raging wildfires. When world famous air racer Dusty learns that his engine is damaged and he may never race again, he must shift gears and is launched into the world of wildfire air attack. Dusty joins forces with veteran fire and rescue helicopter Blade Ranger and his courageous air attack team, including spirited super scooper Lil' Dipper, heavy-lift helicopter Windlifter, ex-military transport Cabbie, and a lively bunch of brave all-terrain vehicles known as the Smokejumpers. Together, the fearless team battles a massive wildfire, and Dusty learns what it takes to become a true hero. Boys ages 8 to 12 will love this junior novelization based on the film, which features eight pages of full-color, action-packed scenes from the hit movie!

This was a great read and it did a very good rendition in its retelling of the movie. It was well worth the buy and the read.

This captured the movie well and made for a good readaloud with my son. The nostalgia vibes throughout the Cars and Plans franchises always get me. Plus, I love a good novelization.

This book is the novelization of the upcoming movie Planes: Fire and Rescue, whilst I am a young adult I do like to indulge in sometimes a book that's a little more laxed in pacing and length.

Here's a heads up: If you like reading the occassional children's novel and are actually willing to take it as it is, then you'll probably enjoy it. Kids will probably enjoy it even more

Now for me: I honestly enjoyed it, it did get a little tedious at times, but it was a good start off and it did not disappoint. I enjoyed it and it was a good read while I was bored and a little out of it. I hadn't felt like reading in awhile.

The book was nice, it had some actiony moments, good pacing, my only gripe was one of the characters but she'll be that way in the film too and I understand they can't give too much away.


Overall good job Disney and to the author. I don't think I'll make it a permanent habit to read children's novels but I can make an exception to this. I could reread it. I don't wanna spoil the plot so just google it please. XD
