How to Set a Fire and Why: A Novel

A teenage girl. A shattering loss. An obsession with a secret arson club. This is the story of a girl who has nothing and will burn anything.
Â
Luciaâ€™s father is dead, her mother is in a mental hospital, and sheâ€™s living in a garage-turned-bedroom with her aunt. And now sheâ€™s been kicked out of schoolâ€”again. Making her way through the world with only a book, a zippo lighter, a pocketful of stolen licorice, a biting wit, and the striking intelÂligence that she tries to hide, Lucia spends her days riding the bus to visit her mother and following the only rule that makes any sense to her: Donâ€™t do things you arenâ€™t proud of. But when she discovers that her new school has a secret Arson Club, sheâ€™s willing to do anything to be a part of it, and her life is sudÂdenly lit up. As Luciaâ€™s fascination with the Arson Club grows, her story becomes one of misguided friendship and, ultimately, destruction.
