The Firework Maker's Daughter... by Philip Pullman
Lila wants to be a Firework-Maker! But firework-making is not just about being able to make light sparkle and pop. There is also one special secret: every Firework-Maker must make a perilous journey to face the terrifying Fire-Fiend and overcome their own fears.
Not knowing that she needs special protection to survive the Fire-Fiend's flames, Lila sets off alone. Her friends, Chulak and Hamlet - the King's white elephant - race after her. But can they possibly reach her in time?
