Book #1
In 3rd grade like 2002-2003 I read a novel that was about a boy who got caught in a wildfire. He ran towards a creek to escape but the creek was full of fish that had "boiled" to death, so he got out of there. Next he ran to a cave but came to the conclusion that he would cook as if he were in an oven and ditched that idea too.
I cant remember anything else about it except that teenagers accidentally started the fire with matches.
Book #2
I read this book in 5th grade. Everyone believes it's "the house with a clock in its walls" but I'm pretty certain it's not!
It's about a boy who goes to his uncle or grandfathers mansion type thing. Everything on the property is overgrown. The boy finds a secret passage in the house with stairs that go on forever. At the base is a weird looking thing on a boat that takes people to whatever is on the other side of the water.
There turns out to be a city or something after that but I've forgotten!
