The Snow Bear de Miriam Moss
The textured pages are fascinating to my almost 4 year old, and we had a good talk about staying in one spot if you get lost from your parents.
Fifteen year old Anna is flying back to England for school after spending the summer with her family in Bahrain. Her plane is hijacked by Palestinian guerrillas and forced to land in the Jordanian desert. Demands are made to the British government and if these demands are not met, the guerrillas are planning on blowing the plane up with all the passengers on board. Thus begins Girl on a Plane by Miriam Moss, a YA story that was tense and suspenseful yet also felt very real.
Anna has to endure during four days of watching the clock count down, living through extreme desert conditions while on starvation rations and very little water. With a growing sense of desperation, she wonders if she will ever see her family again.
At the end of the book I discovered that this scenario actually happened to the author when she was fifteen. Girl on a Plane is about ordinary people living through extraordinary circumstances and I for one, was totally engrossed by this story.… (més)

This was a book that was hard to put down. I remember the hijackings of the 1970s and can never forget the devastation of 9/11. This book may be a work of fiction but the author lived out this event. In doing so, she is able to vividly portray the emotions, fears, and mind jarring realities that a person living through a situation like this experiences.
This book will be added to my high school library shelves soon.
