Across the Desert
(Author) Dusti Bowling"Jolene loves watching The Desert Aviator, a livestream of twelve-year-old "Addie Earhart" flying her ultralight plane and exploring the desert....Then it all goes wrong: Addie's engine abruptly stops, and Jolene watches in helpless horror as the ultralight crashes and the video goes dark. With no one to turn to for help and only a hand-drawn map and a stolen cell phone to rely on, Jolene must find a way to save the Desert Aviator." -- Page 4 of cover.
