Description

Eight-year-old Charlie McGee possesses a terrifying secret: she can create fire with her mind. Her parents, desperate to protect her from a shadowy government agency known as The Shop, are on the run, constantly seeking a safe haven. But as Charlie's powers grow, so does the danger, forcing her to confront the terrifying potential of her abilities and the ruthless forces hunting her. Stephen King masterfully explores themes of innocence corrupted, the corrupting nature of power, and the fierce bonds of family in this chilling tale of a child who is both a weapon and a victim.
