"Daddy, I'm tired," the little girl in the red pants and the green blouse said fretfully.

About the Book

From the world's bestselling author, Stephen King, comes a tale of genetic exploration gone to hellfire! Young Charlie McGee is a very special girl. The result of scientific experimentation on her parents, she has the ability create fires wherever and whenever she chooses, by force of will alone. On the run from sinister government agents with her telekenetic father, she only wants to forget her monstrous abilities, and live a normal life. When the pair are captured, Charlie must decide between saving her father and using her fiery powers at the whim of a government only interested in using her as a weapon.

Media Reviews

Chicago Tribune

In a special and startling way, King has created a small American gem of a story.

Time

Stephen King is superb.
