In Stephen King’s novel Firestarter, Charlie McGee’s father is named Andy.
Andy McGee is the father of Charlie, a young girl with powerful pyrokinetic abilities. Before the novel begins, Andy and Charlie’s mother, Vicky, participate in an experimental drug trial known as Lot 6. The experiment gives Andy a limited form of mind control and gives Charlie the ability to start fires with her thoughts.
The plot follows Andy and Charlie as they flee from a secret government agency called The Shop. The agency wants to capture and study Charlie because her abilities are far more dangerous than those produced by the original experiment.
A common mix-up is to identify Charlie’s mother, Vicky, as the parent connected with her powers. Both parents took part in the experiment, but Andy is the father who remains with Charlie through most of the story. Firestarter was published in 1980.
