In the second book our weary traveller's end up at a mall populated by people who have bible verses for names. At first it seems like a safe-haven filled with adults to feed and take care of them. But, Angerman begins to get more unstable amoung these people. They begin to separate the kids, dividing and conquering them easily, especially Hunter who longs for the approval of other men. Their sacred book has been separated from them, the twins have been taken away and they are not allowed to see them. What is going on? And who is this mysterious new girl? This book is the powerful sequel to Fire-Us, The Kindling. It is just as disturbing, chilling and exciting. A great book with powerful themes.
Very well-done

...In the second installment of the Fire-us, we pick up where The Kindling left off. The Family, consisting of Mommy, Hunter, Teacher, Action Figure, Teddy Bear, Baby, and Doll, with newcomers Angerman, Puppy, and Kitty, have been welcomed into a secret society of religious adults who had survived the deadly Fire-Us. They soon discover (some later than others)that this new-found paradise may be darker than it looks, and they are not as safe as they think they are.This book was my least-favorite in the Trilogy, not through any fault of its own, but because I love the other two more. Though I have difficulty sympathizing with the new heroine introduced in The Keepers (Cory, a girl with a strange past), I feel the character development was wonderful; we see how our heros are, essentially, growing up, as afraid as they are of it.Beautiful writing and gripping plot: 4 stars.
