About the Book

A finalist for the prestigious Carnegie Medal, this novel is a stunning tribute to fathers and daughters, and to the unique power of art to connect and change us.

Sixteen-year-old Iris itches constantly for the strike of a match. But when she's caught setting one too many fires, she's dragged away to London before she can get arrested. At least, that's the story her mother tells. Soon Iris finds herself in the English countryside, where her millionaire father--a man she's never met--lives. Though not for very much longer.

Iris's father is dying, and her self-interested mother is determined to claim his life's fortune, including his priceless art collection. Forced to live with him as part of an exploitive scheme, Iris quickly realizes her father is far different from the man she's been schooled to hate, and everything she thought she knew--about her father and herself--is suddenly unclear. But there may be hidden beauty in Iris's uncertain past and hopeful future, if only she can see beyond the flames.

It's not often--in fact, it has never happened to me even once--that I fall so hard for a young arsonist.

* Valentine writes about family dysfunction, arson, and art with equal levels of beauty and lyricism, creating a vivid landscape of heartache and redemption....A story about an ugly situation that explodes into beauty through cunning and resilience. --Kirkus *STARRED*

* From the first page to the last, Valentine has crafted a masterpiece. --BCCB *STARRED*

[T]his is a poignant story about the power of art to connect and transform. --SLJ

Wise, brilliantly plotted. --The Sunday Times

A Morris Award finalist
