ReplyDeleteWildfire Run is an adventure by Dee Garretson. Luke the president’s son is at Camp David with his friends Theo and Callie when a mass wildfire penetrates the camp. As they are trying to escape when the building holding the switch to the electronic gate collapses. They are forced back into the camp to save those who were supposed to save them and find another way out. I liked this book because you never knew what would happen next or if the characters would survive. If you love adventure this book is for you.

I read Wildfire Run by Dee Garretson. Wildfire Run is about three kids named Luke, Theo and Callie. Luke is the president’s son. Luke has invited Theo to Camp David for summer break. Camp David is the safest place in the USA that protects the president of the United States, and his family from terrorists. The technology will keep everybody out, but if the system fails it keeps everybody in. Luke and his friends must find a way to escape or face the consequences.

Wild Fire Run is a fantastic action-packed book by Dee Garretson. The characters Luke, Theo, and Callie have to out run a wild fire. There are many close deaths because of all of the security checks and the fire is close behind them. They are almost out but their helicopter crashers before they are in and the dog and cat run away and Luke, Callie, and Theo have to outrun the fire to find them. I highly recommend this amazing book.

The novel Wildfire Run written by Dee Garretson is an amazing book. It is about a boy named Luke who, is the presidents son trying to save his friends from a fire at Camp David. The story takes place in the president’s cabin in the woods. Luke and his friends escape and there are a bunch of earthquakes when they were running because of the fire. My favorite part was when the earthquakes hit because it was amusing when they tumbled.

I read Wildfire Run by Dee Garretson. It is an action-packed book about three kids, Luke (the President of the U.S.A’s son), Theo, and Callie who are trapped in the “safest place in the U.S.A”(Camp David). The entire camp is surrounded by a hot and raging wildfire. Luke’s agents are unable to help them. They actually have to help get their agents out alive. The high-tech security system that is supposed to keep people out is keeping them in.
ReplyDeleteWildfire Run is a great book for all ages and for anyone looking for an action packed book.

The setting of Wildfire Run takes place in the presidential lodge in Maryland at Camp David. Luke the president’s son, Theo, and Callie are caught in a wildfire. I thought Luke thought that it was his fault but I thought Luke’s dad was right because Luke was calm and deserved everything his father said. I also liked in that situation when his friends are thanking him for leading them in a hard time like that. I recommend that you read Wildfire Run .It is an interesting book to read.
