April Manning comes from a family of flight attendants. After her dad dies, her mom gets remarried to an evil pilot that has her sent to a psychiatric hospital. Now, April uses her mom's free flights/benefits to spend all her time on every flight she can catch. One day, the flight she is on is hijacked! April and her friend, Malcolm have to figure out how they'll fight the hijackers off in mid-air!
This is hands down one of the best protagonists I've ever seen in YA! April was resourceful, witty, sarcastic, smart, and funny. Even though she was 15, she seemed like someone I would totally be friends with. I found myself smirking at the things she said or nodding and agreeing with her when she had random facts to share (a lot of info dumping/facts in this one but it worked well with the story). She honestly reminded me a little of myself because she said she learned some things from watching true crime! That's totally me, resourceful in the strangest way!
This was different from your average YA book with a unique storyline that was really entertaining! If you're looking for something fun to read during this time or in between your serious reads, I definitely recommend picking this up!
