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 />
