These memories, along with many great teachers who got her excited about reading, are what helped her develop a love of reading and writing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Story for Children
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2023

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.

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
Verified Purchase
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Such a great message for young readers! Love the character Felicity!
Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2023
Felicity is certainly learning how to be brave! In the third book, Felicity is faced with wildfires and whether to save herself or help her fellow man. As always her main concern is making sure everyone is safe and pushing through her fears to do what no one else can do. Another fun read! I love this series so much I've started buying it for my 10 year old daughter. I love the adventure and great messages these books have. It's not too scary or stressful and just a fun read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brave Felicity faces a new, deadly peril
Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2022
With both old friends and new, Felicity, the brave little sparrow, faces the threat of a forest fire. As enjoyable as the two previous books, this story entertains while at the same time offering some gentle lessons in friendship and responsibility, as well as some education about forest fires.

Felicity is a great character! While she might be just a small sparrow, she willingly confronts challenges, danger, and her own fear in order to do the right thing. The story is a nice mix of tension (dangerous forest fire) and moments of humor (“…letting small birds operate complex vehicles is probably not a good idea…”).

I loved Felicity’s interpretations of some of the humans’ words. And the bird’s view of the hero of a well-known fantasy novel was a true delight! A few lovely illustrations enhanced the story; I particularly liked the one that showed a bird’s-eye view of a sign.

Overall, this is a lovely story that features a brave, intelligent main character and offers some important lessons for children. It’s engrossing and a delight to read and will appeal to readers — both children and adults — who are animal lovers as well as lovers of fantasy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting Story for Young Readers
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 27, 2023

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.

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.
