Fireweed Character Hot Seat
Extract 1: Julie’s decision
“The air-raid warden called from the end of the street, urging everyone towards the shelter. Julie glanced at the dark doorway, then at Theo. A pile of broken bricks had trapped his bicycle, and he was trying to pull it free with trembling hands. Julie could go where the grown-ups would keep her warm and safe. Instead, she remembered Theo giving her half his apple that morning and staying beside her when the siren first sounded. ‘I’m not leaving you here,’ she said, and stepped back towards him. Above them, another warning siren began to wail.”
Extract 2: Theo’s secret
“The clerk tapped his pencil against the form. ‘Your full name and age, please.’ Theo stared at the blank line. He could write the truth: he was fourteen and had left the village where he was sent to stay. If he did, someone might make him return. In the city he had found a friend in Julie, and for once he felt useful rather than unwanted. But keeping quiet meant pretending to be someone he was not. The clerk looked up. Theo’s fingers tightened around the pencil. ‘Well?’ the man asked. Theo took a breath, knowing that either answer could change everything.”
