**SPENSA'S WORLD HAS BEEN UNDER ATTACK FOR DECADES.** Now pilots are the heroes of what's left of the human race, and becoming one has always been Spensa's dream. Since she was a little girl, she has imagined soaring skyward and proving her bravery. But her fate is intertwined with her father's--a pilot himself who was killed years ago when he abruptly deserted his team, leaving Spensa the daughter of a coward, her chances of attending Flight School slim to none. No one will let Spensa forget what her father did, yet fate works in mysterious ways. Flight school might be a long shot, but she is determined to fly. And an accidental discovery in a long-forgotten cavern might just provide her with a way to claim the stars.

Sign in for personalised guidanceThis is a determined coming-of-age adventure about pursuing a dream while carrying a disputed family reputation.
Spensa has long dreamed of becoming a pilot and remains determined despite limited prospects.
Spensa is treated as the daughter of a coward because her father was said to have deserted his team.
The remaining human race has faced attack for decades, with pilots treated as heroes within that setting.
The family’s loss and the community’s judgement may deserve attention, especially for readers sensitive to bereavement or public blame. The prolonged attack setting also suggests danger, though its intensity and detail are unknown.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
