?Twelve-year-old Jolene spends every day she can at the library
watching her favorite livestream: The Desert Aviator, where
twelve-year-old "Addie Earhart" shares her adventures flying an
ultralight plane over the desert. While watching this daring girl
fly through the sky, Jolene can dream of what it would be like to
fly with her, far away from her own troubled home life where her
mother struggles with a narcotic addiction. And Addie, who is
grieving the loss of her father, finds solace in her online
conversations with Jolene, her biggest-and only-fan. Then, one day,
it all goes wrong: Addie's engine abruptly stops, and Jolene
watches in helpless horror as the ultralight plummets to the ground
and the video goes dark. Jolene knows that Addie won't survive long
in the extreme summer desert heat. With no one to turn to for help
and armed with only a hand-drawn map and a stolen cell phone, it's
up to Jolene to find a way to save the Desert Aviator. Packed with
adventure and heart, Across the Desert speaks to the resilience,
hope, and strength within each of us. Don't miss Dusti Bowling's
new novel, Dust, available for preorder now.
