An absolutely riveting story of April Manning, who lives her life flying from Atlanta to Los Angeles to accommodate her divorced mother and stepfather. April is being interrogated by several members of law enforcement regarding her part in the bombing of an airplane.
April is a whip-smart fast-talker who is trying to expose her stepfather and his girlfriend of gross misrepresentation and borderline child abuse. She is completely relatable as a narrator and protagonist. She keeps up with current technology and communication, she is sarcastic, she knows how to be aware of her surroundings and use everything she can to her advantage. Or at least go down trying.
This is a unique format for a story. Rather than read in just one medium, such as email communications, the reader is given transcripts, emails, interviews. The reader can easily put herself in April's shoes, trying as hard as she can to prove she's right to people who don't want to listen just because of her status as an unaccompanied minor on WorldAir flights.
Even if you might guess what's coming next, this story will still throw you for a loop in several places. It's definitely worth reading more than once!
