After a summer spent with her family, fifteen-year-old Anna is travelling back to her English boarding school alone. But her plane never makes it home.Anna’s flight is hijacked by Palestinian guerillas. They land the plane in the Jordanian desert, switch off the engines and issue their demands.

The heat on board becomes unbearable; food and water supplies dwindle. Anna begins to face the possibility she may never see her family again.
Time is running out . . .

This book was hard for me to get through. It really hurt my heart. It was good for me to read because I've never heard about this and give me information but still. It was hard to read. If you like reading about history this is a good one for you to read.
