Opis

As a sixth grader living in California, but attending a Hindu private school, Nirelli is torn between the American culture in which she lives and the Indian culture she loves. As she and her sister embark on a summer of fun back in Bombay with their grandparents, she leaves her parents behind for the comforts of life in the garden with her grandmother. Upon their return home, their 747 jet is inexplicably overtaken by menacing hijackers. Nirelli feels responsible for getting her younger sister out alive, but that's not easy when chaos, murder, and fear are their new seat mates. Following the events of an actual hijacking, get on board with the heroic crew and passengers as they all fight for their lives while they learn about compassion, faith, kindness and self-knowledge as they take a journey that will ultimately lead them towards home.
