''[[The Fire-us Trilogy]]'' by Jennifer Armstrong and Nancy Butcher is a young-adult post-apocalyptic series consisting of three books: ''The Kindling, The Keepers of the Flame'', and ''The Kiln''.
In the year 2007, all the adults began to die, leaving their defenseless children to fend for themselves. Most fell to wild animals or hunger, but a small group of lucky (or not-so-lucky) children managed to find each other, and still survives in Florida. Their simple, but relatively happy, existence is interrupted by the appearance of a strange young boy who calls himself Anchorman and leads them away from their home in the first time since the Fire-Us to find a man known as "President".
