This is the third book I have read by this author and I hope he continues with this series. Not only is it informative to children, adults could learn alot too. This is the story of Aunt Cassie, Mom, Ryan and Reese. Mom and the children are going to California to visit with Aunt Cassie. Though they have heard of the drought but have never seen it up close and personal. This book is very accurate and tells of the effects on wildlife and the land. Living in California and having been through many wildfires I can say the drought is real. I find this book in comic book form very appealing to children ages 7 and up.
