Emilia and Teo's lives changed in a fiery, terrifying instant when a bird strike brought down the plane their stunt pilot mothers were flying. Teo's mother died immediately, but Em's survived, determined to raise Teo according to his late mother's wishes-in a place where he won't be discriminated against because of the color of his skin. But in 1930s America, a white woman raising a black adoptive son alongside a white daughter is too often seen as a threat.

I admit it, I doubted Elizabeth Wein... I was excited to get the galley of this and then I read the summary and kind of put off reading it because it sounded kind of boring to me... but once I picked it up, I was HOOKED. I feel like I learned so much about the history of Ethiopia, and I was so INTERESTED in it. I loved these characters so much and once all the plot twists were fully activated I couldn't put it down!!
AHHH
I need to think about how to booktalk this because I still think the plot summary sounds boring. I might need to just throw it at kids and yell AHHHHH
