Edward is 12 years old and the only survivor of a plane crash with 191 people on board including his parents and brother. He goes to live with his aunt and uncle and this story is about how he copes with the loss of his family while dealing with the fame of being the sole survivor of this flight. The book is told from two time periods - after the crash and during the flight.

I can’t imagine losing my entire family especially at such a young age. What Edward went through was tragic. I liked how the book wasn’t just told from what happened after the crash, but how it told us what happened during the plane ride and the other passengers stories. I did think it was slow in the beginning, but picked up at the end once Edward finds the garage (I won’t say more so I don’t spoil anything).
