BRUNCH BROTHERS ADVENTURES: FOUR FIRES: BOOK ONE

Some powers don't look like powers.Tendai feels everything - every emotion in every room, whether he wants to or not. Finn moves so fast the world can barely keep up with him. Ren is almost always right, and that's its own kind of problem. Mateo loves so large it comes out of him all wrong - too loud, too much, always asked to turn himself down.They don't know each other. They live on different streets, walk different routes to school, carry different things home at the end of the day.Then a notice goes up on a gate.Miss Rosa's community garden - open every day for twenty-three years, a place where the gate is never locked and the kettle is always on - is under threat of development. Thirty days. And something about that notice, level and official and utterly indifferent to everything it's about to erase, pulls four very different boys through the same green gate.What follows is not a simple fight. It's a petition with a missed deadline, a banner dissolved by rain, an automated email that says your comments have been recorded, and the slow, humbling discovery that courage isn't always the loudest thing in the room.Four Fires is the first book in the Brunch Brothers Adventures series - a story about four boys learning that the things that make them too much are also the things that make them extraordinary. That showing up matters more than winning. That what you are to each other is the point.For readers aged 7-10. For anyone who was ever told to turn it down.Brunch Brothers Adventures: Four Fires, Book One by Ajani
