J Before Jenna could even read, she knew she wanted to fly, and shortly before her 14th birthday she announces that she wishes to become an airline captain. Her parents are unenthusiastic, but with the support of her grandfather, Jenna gets a start on her dream: a flying lesson for her 14th birthday present. Meanwhile, Jenna's older brother Ned has a dream of a different sort. He wants to ingratiate in·gra·ti·ate tr.v. in·gra·ti·at·ed, in·gra·ti·at·ing, in·gra·ti·ates To bring (oneself, for example) into the favor or good graces of another, especially by deliberate effort: himself with a charismatic newcomer at school, even if it means stealing his grandfather's old Army gun and aiding his new friend in the commission of a crime. Jenna discovers her brother's plans just as her brother discovers he's in over his head with no clear way out. Swindell's strength is in realistically depicting both the competing interests that cause internal conflicts in YAs and the unsophisticated reasoning that keeps them from alerting the adult world of their difficulties. Hicks can sound young enough to differentiate the voices of the teenagers as effectively as she performs those of the adults.
