Description
Twelve-year-old Jolene's life is marked by her daily visits to the library, where she watches a livestream featuring an adventurous young pilot named Addie Earhart. As Jolene dreams of flying with Addie, their online conversations bring comfort and solace to both girls, who are struggling with personal challenges.
But when Addie's engine fails during a flight, Jolene is left with no choice but to take action. With only a hand-drawn map and a stolen cell phone, she sets out on a perilous journey across the Arizona desert to rescue her hero. Will Jolene be able to overcome the treacherous terrain and find Addie before it's too late?
