Fire at Red Lake by Robert Leckie

"Fire at Red Lake" by Robert Leckie is a novel written in the late 20th century. The story revolves around young Sandy Steele and his friends as they embark on a summer camping trip in the wilderness, hosted by Sandy's uncle, Russell Steele, a military general. As excitement builds for their adventure, the gravity of danger emerges with the ever-present threat of forest fires and the mysterious disappearance of a potentially hazardous A-bomb from a recent plane crash. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to the characters as they travel by a bumpy station wagon toward a lodge by Red Lake.
