"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.
I am a book loving elementary school teacher librarian. This blog reflects my personal opinions about the books I have read and is intended to be used by students and teachers who are looking for a book recommendation.
