About the book: When the juvenile judge sentenced fourteen-year-old Karina to Blue Horizons, an alternative school for "difficult" adolescents, her anger dictated her actions more than logic or reason. She wanted to be good and do what was right. She wanted to be praised, but the plane crash that killed her parents and subjected her to months of painful recovery were more than she could endure. Now, she must find the courage not only to deal with the anger of her loss but also to face the demon that most frightened her-flying. After initial resistance, the instructors and kids of Blue Horizons helped Karina find a place for herself and peace from within. But, no one could foresee the fateful set of events that forced Karina into making a life-or-death decision-a decision that placed her on a mission of mercy at the risk of her own life. With a storm closing in around her and time running short, Karina's flying skills would face the ultimate test. She knew this would be her last flight. She prayed it would be a successful one.
