Books with title Fire-us

Cam has a secret. He can create fire. He’s also terrified that he accidentally started the fire which burned down his house and killed his parents. So when he is contacted by Project Phoenix, a small semi-secret government group set up to study and train children with unexplained powers, Cam agrees, reluctantly, to let them train him so he doesn’t harm anyone else ever again.
