My Life on Fire by Cath Howe tells the gripping story of Ren and her family, who have lost their home in a devastating fire. Now living with her grandmother, tensions run high as they try to adjust to their new situation.

Ren, having lost her cherished collection of belongings and her clothes, is struggling to cope. Her brother is also deeply affected, having lost his little bear, leaving him inconsolable.

In an attempt to fill the void, Ren begins to replace her lost possessions with items borrowed from others. They have plenty to spare, after all. However, when her actions are discovered, Ren must negotiate a terrifying bargain to evade further discovery and consequences.
