When the aging turboprop carrying fifteen-year-old Robie home to Midway Island goes down over open ocean, Robie seems doomed. The pilot is dead, the co-pilot is unconscious, no one knows she was on the flight. This old-fashioned adventure story is effectively related in Robie's voice. Readers will be right there with her on the leaky raft, longing for rescue and home.
