Why We Play With Fire By: Giselle Vriesen

Genre: Fantasy
Age Recommendation: Grade 7/8

"Why We Play With Fire" is a Red Maple 2025 nominee.  This is the story of Thea, who thought she was a regular girl living a regular life until she got swept up in a magical world.  Thea finds out she is a god spring, meaning her mother was a god and that Thea has powers she never knew she had. Thea is thrown into this world unexpectedly and must quickly adapt as she goes on a time-sensitive and dangerous quest with other god spring.  This is a well-written novel and will be of great interest to fans of Rick Riordan. This is not a genre I typically enjoy, so I found myself struggling to finish the book, but can see that it would be popular with many readers.
