Ben gets the chance for a trip of a lifetime when his mum is invited to attend a big conference in Australia. In the midst of a drought, it's hot. And it's dry. Drier than it's been for years. And it only takes a spark to set off a fire... As world leaders gather and a student demo gathers pace, a small flame takes hold - and suddenly an unquenchable fire bursts into life and an inferno of flames up to l00 metres high tear through the streets, threatening homes and lives. And in the smoke and confusion, an important general is kidnapped! Ben - just learning to fly - finds himself at the controls of a microlite and on the trail of the kidnappers...

I greatly enjoyed the first book, Flash Flood, and was looking forward to reading this one. However, I thought this one could have been better. Flash Flood is definately the better of the two, and the fact that a lot of the book was in a small plane and the main characters weren't in any danger made this book much less interesting. But, saying that, i think this is still a good read.

After greatly enjoying Flash Flood I was hopeful that Wildfire would be just as good, unfortunately, its not. Most of the story takes place in a Microlight plane, flying far away from the actual fire and is rather dull. Although a fair bit of insight is given into the fire, the story is a lot duller and I found that it had nowhere near the impact that Flash Flood had. The speech was rather dull, everything seemed to be very matter of fact and I just wasn't interested in the characters themselves. The only thing that kept it going was the insight and the occasional interesting thing happening.
A great dissapointment after Flash Flood.

A good recommendation for young readers from 11 years. A excited and adventurous book for boys. My son loved to read Chris Ryan Code Red books for his age of 12 years.
