As she grew older, her love of nature only grew. So when the heat rose each fire season and the blazes burned near and far, she noticed. Deanne knew she had to do her part in fighting the fires. She spent years on woodland crews, clearing brush and branches that could make the fire spread, and on hotshot crews where she fought faster fires and took bigger risks, spending weeks in one-hundred-degree heat working twenty-four-hour shifts. But what Deanne really wanted was to be a smokejumper, to jump from planes and parachute into dangerous wildfires that no truck could ever reach. To be the first line of defense. The only problem? There had never been a female smokejumper before. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith lyrical text from Jessica Lawson and striking illustrations from Sarah Gonzales, \u003ci\u003eAblaze\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of Deanne Shulman's groundbreaking work with the United States Forest Service as she fought against unfair rules and blazed the way for women in firefighting.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJessica Lawson\u003c\/b\u003e is the critically acclaimed author of \u003ci\u003eThe Actual \u0026amp; Truthful Adventures of Becky Thatcher\u003c\/i\u003e, a book that \u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e called \"a delightfully clever debut\" in a starred review, and \u003ci\u003eNooks \u0026amp; Crannies\u003c\/i\u003e, a Junior Library Guild Selection and recipient of three starred reviews.
