  Twelve-year-old Maia's parents say she's lucky to have smelled the smoke, lucky to have pulled her sister, Amelia, out of their burning house. But is it really "lucky" when Amelia's in the hospital? And is it “lucky" when Maia knows it was her candle that started the fire? 
   
   
   
  When she's sent to spend the summer with her grandparents in Minnesota while her sister heals, Maia discovers that her demons are intent on following her. Maia barely knows her grandparents, she desperately misses her sister and home, and she's not thrilled to be spending the summer with Grandpa Howard on his motorcycle rides, where he spends all day keeping watch for forest fires. There are no kids in Gram and Pop's small town—just the chatty nine-year-old neighbor and a friendly, stray dog. 
   
   
   
  But Maia will soon learn that nature is a powerful teacher, and sometimes our greatest strengths show themselves when we have to be there for someone else. As she begins to figure out how to face her guilt, she'll discover there's a fine line between fear and adventure.

  Welcome to The Confident Ummah, Adab Series. We were inspired to create books for our children and ummah so they can refer to them throughout their early years and better themselves as Muslims. 
  The first 10 years of a child's life are the most impressionable. This is when their foundations are formed and so it is the best time to encourage positive traits, so they are equipped with the tools to live healthy and balanced lives through which they worship and serve Allah. 
  Each storybook has been designed to focus on a main principle, followed by related Qur'an/Hadith quotes. The moral of the story section highlights the core lessons from the storybook. Finally, we have included an activity page which is designed to encourage your child to implement the story's lessons. 
  Our stories are based on questions our children ask us and scenarios we have come across in our daily lives whilst homeschooling them.

  Joshua could not help it that he was the smallest kid in high school. For Porkey and his buddies though this was unforgivable. They bugged him every chance they got. He was locked in his own locker several times. Once they even put him in upside down. They really loved to do flushies to him in the boys bathroom. They would hold him upside down with his head in the toilet water and flush it. It didn’t matter to them if there was stuff in the toilet or not. If there was? That made their cruelty all the more jovial. If they cornered him outside? You can imagine what they did or tried to do to him if they were not stopped by someone else. 
  As the story goes those bullies would have eventually killed him had not Mr. Fiddles intervened. You see, Joshua lived in an area of the United States where at certain times, time anomalies occurred. If a person got caught in one unaware of what was happening, they could end up being propelled forward or backward in time. Mr. Fiddles had figured out how to manipulate these anomalies. So when a newspaper from the future reported the death of his neighbor from bullying, he set things in motion to prevent it. 
  What will happen to Joshua and will he ever be able to confront those bullies and stop their cruelty before they murder him? Bullying is a real problem not only in the US but worldwide. Every kid that has ever been the recipient of cruel pranks like Joshua endured would love to turn the tables on their tormentors. Perhaps there is a way? This story will allow for a debate on cruel pranks and bullying. It is the author’s purpose in this story to bring awareness to this problem and possible solutions for readers of all ages.
