AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

On their way home from a luxury camping trip, five classmate’s lives are in danger when someone takes control of their private plane. The main suspect is the replacement co-pilot, but the teens are not sure if any of the adults on board are trust-worthy. Why these kids? Why this plane? When things go even further south, can the teens manage to save themselves?

Even though the teens are a bit over-privileged, the drama of the sky-jacking is taut and terrifying and will hold students’ attention.
