Hollis Gillespie<br />

Atlanta GA | HollisGillespie​.com<br />

Essayist, radio personality, and syndicated columnist,<br />

Hollis Gillespie teaches writing and social<br />

networking and is a sought-after lecturer. A former<br />

flight attendant, she lives with her family near Atlanta.<br />

She is at work on the sequel to Unaccompanied<br />

Minor—which will be out in 2014 from Merit Press.<br />

• In this engaging story, a teenage runaway must test her wits, strength,<br />

and courage to disable a bomb in a hold of a commercial airliner<br />

• April Manning has both brains and physical skills, making her the ultimate<br />

heroine when crises arise<br />

• Like Katniss Everdeen, April is transformed from a geeky girl into a<br />

full-on warrior to protect those around her<br />

To escape her chaotic life and warring parents, April May Manning runs<br />

away from her home and family. Having spent most of her childhood<br />

flying from coast to coast, she decides to use her mom’s flight attendant<br />

benefits to join her favorite airline staff on their next voyage. The airplane<br />

feels like home to April, and with her father on a trans-oceanic trip and<br />

her mother stuck in a mental institution, no one is the wiser about her<br />

whereabouts. However, her much-needed break is interrupted when hijackers<br />

reveal their weapons and explosives. Along with another teenage<br />

passenger, April flees to the cargo hold to alert the FBI and brainstorm<br />

ways to disable the bomb. Unfortunately, the situation gets worse and both<br />

teenagers are locked in the cockpit with a badly wounded federal officer,<br />

unable to reach the other passengers. With hundreds of lives on the line,<br />

will April be able to remember the skills that her pilot parents taught her<br />

in time to rescue the plane?<br />
