I really enjoyed this book. The story is about a commercial plane crash, in which the sole survivor is a 12-year-old boy. The story is told in two timelines - the weeks and years following the crash and the hours during the flight, leading up to the crash. Throughout the story you get to meet a few of the passengers and learn their back stories. So, in addition to Edward (the survivor) you also feel connected to some of the victims. I thought the author did a great job conveying the trauma endured by Edward and his path to healing. Highly recommend!
