A thousand miles ago, in a country east of the jungle and
south of the mountains, there lived a firework-maker named
Lalchand and his daughter, Lila. Lila's learned from her
father almost all there is to know about making fireworks.
But he's held back the final secret, the most dangerous one,
saying Lila's not ready to know. Not to be deterred, the
headstrong girl enlists the help of her friend Chulak, and
discovers that anyone who wants to be a true Firework-Maker
must face down the Fire-Fiend of Mount Merapi, and bring
back some of the Royal Sulphur. So Lila sets off fearlessly,
ready to face pirates and demons and anything else that gets
in her way.
