Eddie is moving from New York City to California with his mom, dad, and older brother. They are all packed and about to take off on Flight 2977. Jane Adler is a writer who is moving to Los Angeles to write for a television show. Bruce Adler is a mathematician and homeschool teacher to his two sons.
Told in snippets alternating between the flight and after, Napolitano introduces a cast of characters who are all on the flight for different reasons. After the crash, Eddie goes to live with his aunt and uncle in New Jersey, trying to make sense of his new life.
This is great book. It is both suspenseful because readers know something bad is about to happen and the coming of age story of a boy growing into a man.
