Book Cover & Preview Text
Right when they reached Choco’s Chocolates and Licorice, Nutmeg and B.J. saw some other youngsters. They seemed to be having fun on the edge of the woods next to the store. Some of them were members of Nutmeg’s club, the Squirrel Scouts. Some, though, were animals they didn’t know. They scampered over to see what these youngsters were playing. “Nutmeg,” called Carl Chipmunk, “come meet my cousin, Chewie. He’s visiting us from Beacon Woods.” Carl was a classmate of Nutmeg’s. They had been good friends for many years. When Nutmeg met Chewie, though, he felt Chewie was a little on the tough side. “Hey,” began Chewie, “you two have any money on you? I’ve got some fireworks for sale. They aren’t those sissy sparklers. These shoot up in the air and light up the sky. They’re really cool.” Nutmeg and B.J. turned and smiled at each other. Although treats at the candy shop sounded good, fireworks sounded even better. They gave the spending money the Colonel had given them to Chewie. He, in turn, gave them two bottle rockets apiece. Seeing that they were new to fireworks, Chewie offered to show them how they worked. They agreed to shoot one then and to save the rest for the Fourth of July. As Chewie lit the rocket with some matches, he told the other youngsters to step back. The rocket soared through the air. As Nutmeg and B.J. watched this exciting sight, they thought that their money had been well spent. However, as the rocket was traveling upward, it got caught in a tree. The leaves were soon on fire! Jerry and June Pigeon went flying from their nest, which also had caught on fire. Thankfully, their son, Walter, was playing at a friend’s nest in another tree. Jim Bobcat, who was taking a nap on a limb, came fleeing down the trunk of the tree. As he was running, he stubbed his paw and broke it. Peapod, a flying squirrel in the Scouts, was playing nearby. He recalled his Scout training and started collecting water in acorn caps. He then glided close to the fire while throwing water on it. He also kept his Scout training in mind to make sure he kept a safe distance. The Colonel, along with Marty and Jessie, came running toward the fire from the Grill. To Nutmeg’s and B.J.’s dismay, they soon heard fire engines roaring. They knew they were in trouble with a capital “T.” Ezra Bear, one of the firefighters, scaled the tree with a water hose grasped in his claw. Between him and Peapod, they quickly put out the fire. Jim Bobcat was the only one hurt. The Pigeons had lost their home. Doc Badger, who also was dining downtown, soon arrived. He started tending to Jim Bobcat’s injured paw. Many other animals had started to gather at the fire scene. They were trying to find the cause of the fire. The first thing they noticed was Nutmeg and B.J., who were holding three rockets in their paws.
