What Lila wants to be more than anything else in the world is . . . a Firework-Maker!

But firework-making is not just about being able to make Crackle-Dragons and Golden Sneezes. There is also one special secret: every Firework-Maker must make a perilous journey to face the terrifying Fire-Fiend!

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?
