Synopsis

Challenged by his master to spend a bitter-cold night alone in the mountains, Fire on the Mountain is about an Ethiopian boy who bets his future that he will succeed.

When his master refuses to recognize the boy's victory, the boy and his sister decide to beat the rich man at his own game. It's all in Jane Kurtz's fantastic tale, Fire on the Mountain.
