As wildfire approaches, Mamma and Thunder the Great — a gerbil belonging to her son Jackson — are forced to flee their Fort McMurray home. Mamma faces flames, traffic gridlock, an empty gas tank, and other challenges … all to get Thunder and herself to safety. Saving Thunder the Great is the true story of a gerbil’s rescue, a mother’s love for her child, and the community who helps her. Illustrated by Georgia Graham.
