<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Sixteen-year-old Emily and her little brother Aidan are onboard a plane bound for Anchorage. When the plane crashes, both kids and the pilot barely escape with their lives and are left to fight for survival in the Alaskan wilderness. But there is worse to come--Emily and Aidan are being chased, and their shady, unknown pursuers are closing in. As the kids go on the run, Emily finds herself in greater danger than she could have imagined. Because nothing in her life is what it seems--not even the things she holds dearest of all.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><b>From the Printz Award-winning author of </b><b><i>Satellite</i></b><b> comes a compelling new novel about a girl who must brave the elements to help a lost child with an otherworldly secret.</b></b> <p/>Sixteen-year-old Emily is on the run. Between her parents and the trouble she's recently gotten into at school, she has more than enough reason to get away. But when she finds a little boy named Aidan wandering in the woods, she knows she needs to help him find his way home. But getting home is no easy matter, especially when Emily finds out that Aidan isn't even from Earth. When their plane crashes into the side of a snowy mountain, it's up to Emily to ensure Aidan and their pilot, Bob, make it off the mountain alive. Pursued by government forces who want to capture Aidan, the unlikely team of three trek across the freezing landscape, learning more about each other, and about life, than they ever thought possible. <p/>I love Nick Lake's writing. I would read anything he wrote--grocery list, email, etc.--because his writing, always, is so real and brave. He takes on subjects other writers might avoid, and he writes the hell out of them. --<i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Jennifer Niven on Nick Lake<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"An interesting exploration of individuality, family and how they often conflict. . . . <b>Exhilarating</b> <b>YA science fiction.</b>" --<i>Shelf Awareness, s</i>tarred review <p/>Starts off as<b> an appealing survival story, </b> then moves into an exploration of family and relationships, while maintaining its pace. --<i>School Library Journal</i> <p/>The book opens with the plane crash and <b>the pace never slows</b>. . . . For all the action and thrills, though, there is a strong emotional center here. --<i>The Bulletin</i> <p/>"<b>The overall message about connecting and empathy is deeply felt</b>, as is Emily's coming-of-age and understanding of her place in the universe as a young woman with her own voice." --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> <p/>"Deftly weaving elements of science fiction into a tale of survival and personal (re)growth, Lake takes on sexual assault, family discord, and what it means to rebuild in the face of trauma. Both completely alien and yet all-too-relatable, <b>Emily and Aidan's story will help readers think more deeply about the world around them.</b>" --<i>Booklist</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Nick Lake is the Michael L.
