Felicity and the Fire Stoppers Kindle Edition

by Loralee Evans (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.0 out of 5 stars 17 ratings
Felicity is no stranger to adventure and peril, in her books or real life, so not much surprises her any more.
Even if it's a visit from an old enemy!
But when she sees something that looks suspiciously like smoke in the mountains near her home, Felicity realizes that she'll need to use all her smarts and courage to help her friends.
Especially when a group of fire fighters, or as the animals in the Wildwood say, fire stoppers, needs her help!

About the Author

Some of Loralee Evans' earliest memories are of sitting with her mom or dad while they read her stories like The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter, or Make Way for Ducklings by Robert McCloskey. These memories, along with many great teachers who got her excited about reading, are what helped her develop a love of reading and writing. She has lived in Missouri, Texas, and Utah, and even spent a year and a half in Japan. Felicity and the Fire Stoppers is her sixth book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars ~~ The fire stoppers are in deadly danger! Can Felicity help save them? ~~
    Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2017

    This, the third book in the series, brings the characters and events of the previous two book all together for an exciting and satisfying finale. The first chapter holds a conversation between Cairn and Felicity. As the two birds converse we are reminded of many of the happenings that occurred previously.

    At Mister Yellow Horse's house Felicity is disappointed to learn that his computer has been sent to the repair shop. You see, Felicity is a very special bird in that she can talk, read and write. (Cairn is good at maths!) Felicity has seen dangerous smoke and wants to warn Mister Yellow Horse. By the time Mister Yellow Horse figures out that Felicity needs to tell him something and goes to get his phone, his son Everett, wife Brooke and grandson Vincent are at the door. Surprise, surprise! Vincent can understand "Fwicity"! The story continues as Everett, a fire stopper, is called away to help fight the fire but danger is not far away. Can Felicity get the message across as to what else she has seen?

    Cairn is sent to rescue Colin and the other fairies? What is Grak and his "accomplice" Sampson up to?

    Enjoy this wonderful conclusion. I purchased this well written book for my Kindle. We enjoyed reading it out loud. I was not required to write a review but chose to do so. Thanks, Liz

    4.0 out of 5 stars Felicity wins through!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2016
    I have reviewed the two previous adventures of Felicity the cheeky, chirpy sparrow before and enjoyed them both. This new adventure is both novel and exciting with language, dialogue and plotline very well arranged and pitched, in my opinion, for the target audience of children 6 to 10 years. It is brave of the author to have most of the story around such a serious issue as a forest fire but it works. There is the right amount of fear and panic for such an incident to be related to youngsters as well as bits of magic and amazement for a hero who is a literate sparrow that can use a computer! There are daring references to War and Peace and The Hobbit in tactfully small amounts that allow adults to perhaps talk about them later, with amusing little jokes here and there to keep smiles on the faces of those same adults!

    I think this is the best of the three books with more twists in the plot and several touching moments with regard to Felicity's new friends and her once enemy, Grak the grey hawk. The story has plenty of pace and is full of original ideas for keeping young readers involved from beginning to end. As a first chapter book for early readers and as an experienced reader to grandchildren I can thoroughly recommend it. I received a complimentary copy of this book.

    I have read several of Ms. Evans books and this is by far the best one. Great characters with the animals led by Felicity, Grak, Carin, and Alexander and the humans like Everett, Yellow Horse, Peterson, Brooke, and Vince. This was a great page-turner from beginning to end with no boring parts at all. The pacing was excellent as well as the narration. I hope I get to read the next adventure with Felicity.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Not very good.
    Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2024
    Besides the plot being rather ridiculous, the writing was horrible and sloppy. At one point, the villian from a previous book comes in suddenly, and there was absolutly no tension build up. It was seriously like, the villian stepped in the room and every on gasped and fainted with horror. Come on, it could have been much better. Also, the euphemisms continually increase through out the series. What started as a fairy tale with a bird, turned into texting birds who like to type on the computer and talk to humans. I was not at all impressed. The first book had a very clever plot though, and it was worth the read, but do not read this one!

    Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2016
    “What is that crazy word that just came out of your beak?”

    Felicity is a sparrow with a difference - she has learned how to read and write and she has a human friend, who she can talk to by hopping on the keyboard of his computer. But when she wants to warn her friend that there is smoke in the mountains, but she has a slight problem communicating the danger.

    It is even worse when she has to find a way to warn the people fighting the fire that they might be surrounded and cut off from safety. Her courage, wisdom - and her friends all have to work together to try and save the day.

    “I’m not helping him because I want something. I’m helping because it’s the right thing to do.”

    This is a wonderful, warm hearted and wise book for children. It is aimed at those 6 - 10 and would be a great self-read, or a book to read aloud to younger children maybe. I loved the scattering of pictures - not enough to make it a picture book, but helpful and appropriate illustrations. My favourite was the first - a signpost as viewed from above by a sparrow perched on it!

    The story is sophisticated enough to entertain an adult reader sharing the book with a child and well paced so the events keep up interest. I liked the references to other books as well, which could encourage further reading perhaps, and the maths-geek sparrow, Cairn, is a great role model for encouraging numeracy.

    But the crowning glory of the tale is the message about forgiveness, friendship and the ability to change path in life even when it might seem too late to do so.

    'Alexander screamed. Kind of like a girl.'

    This was the one place in the book I felt a big down tick: 'scream like a girl' has a whole host of implications around it relating to female weakness and incapacity. In a book aimed at young children that kind of casual sexism - that girls are frightened and scream and boys are brave and don't - is out of place, in my opinion. It surprised me to read it here, as elsewhere our heroine, Felicity, gets very upset that she is being assumed to be male and stands up for her gender with pride. Her actions are a brilliant role model for a brave, go-getting girl.

    But that one point only stood out only because the rest of the book was so good. I think this is a book children would come to treasure and want to read and re-read many times - and that Felicity the sparrow is a heroine who will be much loved.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Another delightful Felicity tale
    Reviewed in Canada on August 19, 2020

    Felicity and the Fire Stoppers, the third book in Loralee Evans charming series, features a sparrow with unusual literacy skills. We first meet Felicity in her nest-home where she is reading The Hobbit. Her cosy nest is furnished with a tiny bookshelf, an ice box for snacks and small paintings of family and friends. The story proceeds at a leisurely pace. Evans takes time to create her scenes and to introduce the human characters.

    Telling the story from Felicity's point of view makes the story more accessible to small children who often see adults as large uncomprehending beings. Naturally, it is a four year old boy who instantly understands the sparrow, while most of the grown-ups do not. Felicity sees humans as sometimes helpless featherless two-foots. She feels sorry for them because they can't move fast, they can't fly and they have no magic.

    There are plenty of scary bits - the first being Felicity's encounter with a large wizard-hawk and his sidekick, an unpleasant snake. And the violence of the natural world is acknowledged as we learn that Felicity's parents met a nasty end, and that her favourite snack consists of fresh, kicking beetles which she keeps in that ice-box.

    The drama is heightened when a raging forest fire threatens Felicity's neighbourhood, the woods and the town. It is a dangerous scenario, effectively and dramatically told in detail, including the deployment of the firefighters' personal fireproof shelters. Evans did her research and gives special thanks to firefighters at the Utah Test and Training Range and the Duchesne County Volunteer Fire Department.

    There are numerous opportunities for word play as Felicity learns new words, sometimes with amusing results. She has trouble with "cats trophy", (catastrophe) and calls a computer a "come-putter".
    But while I respect that it must have been a challenge to come up so many verbs to describe bird-like movements, I was uncomfortable with "leaping" to describe a sparrow taking flight.

    A good kids' book teaches as well as entertains, and there are valuable lessons to be learned, about balloons as well as more important issues. Overall, this is an excellent book to read aloud to young children or for the under-10 set to read themselves.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting Story for Young Readers
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 27, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    Felicity is a very special sparrow; she can read and write, and communicate with a human friend using a computer. When she finds out a wildfire is spreading, she wants to save her friends and warn the featherless two-foots.

    Felicity and the Fire Stoppers is an exciting read. Felicity, despite being tiny, is brave and saves the day and there is redemption for a hawk as well. The story teaches kids about kindness, friendship, perseverance, and bravery, as each challenge is overcome. There are lots of funny mispronunciations that will make kids laugh, and a few jokes aimed at adults too (e.g. Warren Pease -> War and Peace).

    Overall, I would recommend this story for youngsters who want an engaging read.
