Fireboy is a quick read. As I teach English 9, I often pick up novels that are meant for early teens so that I can increase my classroom library. This book being centered around a pair of 8th grade characters seemed slightly young, but appropriate for my class that is built around students that failed English 8. I’m still undecided about buying a physical copy, as this is written in such a low-level writing style in terms of sentence structure and plot that I don’t see this being a book of interest for my demographic of students. I would say this is more of a 6th grade level book, despite the main characters being of the age that they are heading into 8th grade.
