Other editions of book Escape from Fire Mountain

Nikki Roberts feels very grown up when her parents leave her alone in their mountain lodge for a few days. The 13-year-old has promised them she will not take any long horseback rides or canoe trips, so she saddles Goblin and heads for a nearby sheep meadow for the afternoon. It’s not long before Nikki’s trail leads her into perilous territory. She surprises deadly poachers at work who are shooting bighorn rams for trophies. Her CB radio picks up a distress call from two children stranded in a forest fire that has broken out down river. Can Nikki rescue the children and avoid the dangerous poachers? Gary Paulsen is a three-time Newbery Honor Book author. His World of Adventure Books capture the spirit of discovery and excitement found in our country’s majestic landscapes. In addition to non-stop action, Escape from Fire Mountain also includes valuable information about forest fire survival.

Thirteen-year-old Nikki Roberts tries to help two children trapped by a forest fire but finds her efforts blocked by poachers who want her to become one of the fire's victims. But after a shocking turn of events, the fire becomes the least of Nikki's problems. Will Nikki's horse, Goblin, and her years of hunting guide experience save her, or will Fire Mountain reign supreme?

When thirteen-year-old Nikki Roberts hears a cry for help over her CB radio, she races into a forest fire to rescue two trapped children. But Nikki must fight more than flames. Ruthless poachers are hot on their trail and even Nikki's experience as a hunting guide, and the help of her horse, Goblin, may not get them safely through the forests dangers.
