The Firekeeper's Son
Sang-hee's father climbs the mountain every evening to light a fire. The fire is a signal to the firekeeper on the next mountain to light his fire and so on, until it reaches the king's palace. When the king sees the fire on the nearest mountain peak, he knows all is well in the land. If there is no fire, that means there is trouble and soldiers will be sent to defend the land.
One evening, Sang-hee's mother notices the fire is not lit. Sang-hee is sent to see why the fire is not burning. On the way, he discovers that his father has hurt his ankle and cannot light the fire. It is up to Sang-hee to carry the brass pot filled with coals to light the signal.
The story is set in Korea in the early 1800s. At the back of the book is an author's note about the bonfire signal system that was used in Korea.
