Macey Clare, a 15 year old girl, has to do a history report.  She picks as her topic a fire that happened in 1959.  She questions her grandparents, who she lives with because her parents are divorced. She asks the town's people about it.  , and she asks her teacher.  No one tells Macey anything about this fire.  Was is because the fire was so bad that no one wants to talk about it or is it because the fire involves a black man?  Macey calls people like the fire marshal to see if he has any files or remembers the fire.  Will Macey find out why no one wants to tell her about the fire in 1959 or will she fail her history project?  To find out... read the book.

I recommend this book to people who like books that make you read on and to people that like mysteries.
