When Ruby smells smoke while George and Jack are busy harvesting, hopes of a successful broad bean crop are suddenly under threat. Will the Farmer family get the beans in before the fire does?

This action-packed story features trucks, harvesters and even a fire engine! It’s perfect for kids who love big machines, fast thinking and working together to save the day.

With 14 full-page colour illustrations, this 32-page book is also a clever way to teach kids about broad beans (also known as fava beans) and the importance of pulse crops — not just as a protein-rich food, but for their incredible ability to regenerate soil by returning nitrogen to the ground.
