A Sky Full of Secrets. A Teen with the Key.
What happens when a school trip turns into a high-altitude nightmare?
When 30 students from Auburn High board a plane from Toronto to Rio, it’s supposed to be the trip of a lifetime. But when a sudden volcanic eruption throws the flight into chaos, things go from exciting to terrifying—fast. The pilots are injured. Communications go dead. And the plane? It has a mind of its own.
Meet Taylor, a quiet tenth-grader with a gift he didn’t know he had.
With over 200 lives on board, Taylor must team up with the AI-powered aircraft to navigate storms, dodge danger, and make impossible decisions. But can a teenager and a talking plane really work together—and save everyone?
