About this listen

**2019 Winner–Gertrude Warner Award for Middle Grade Fiction**

When Vivian Carmine accidentally sets her school gym on fire, she learns the truth her parents have been hiding: she’s a phoenix. And fire? It runs in the family.

But before she can ask any questions, her parents vanish leaving Vivian alone to uncover a world of myth, magic, and mayhem hiding in plain sight. Swept into RISE, a top-secret academy that trains magical misfits to blend into the human world, Vivian finds herself learning spycraft, combat skills, and the finer points of intentional arson.

With the help of a snarky fairy and the mysterious son of a rebel god, she must track down her parents, master her powers, and stop a war between gods and mortals—before it’s too late.

Flash of Fire is a voice-rich fantasy adventure perfect for ages 11-15. Narrated by Erin Chmela, a gifted puppeteer and voice actress who brings every character to life with heart, humor, and the spark of a true storyteller.

Perfect for fans of fast-paced action, strong female heroes, and everyday magic, this award-winning series starter is packed with mythology, found family, and one fierce girl determined to save the world—before it goes up in flames.
