Review: Lies Like Wildfire - Jennifer Lynn Alvarez - September 2021 There was something about this book that I could swear I have read but I knew I hadn't and then as I thought about it, it could be because I have read a few stories with the similar theme of wildfire, arson, and secrets. In Lies Like Wildfire, we have our group of friends known as the Monsters as when they were children - they all played the role of the monsters in Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. This made me smile as back in 2019, I did plays with the school visits when I worked in the library and this was one of the plays, we used with the school children. The other thing I loved about this book is the events that happen on July 7th which is my birthday. The day starts like any other with Luke, Hannah, Drummer, Violet, and Mo down at the Gap swimming and hanging out until Luke wants to smoke some weed. Hannah knows how easy it is to start a fire and gets angry at Luke and whacks it out of his hand....
