Thin Air - Paperback

by Kellie M. Parker (Author)

Eight hours. Twelve contestants. A flight none of them might survive. A flight to Paris full of teenagers turns deadly in this suspenseful, locked-door YA thriller. Perfect for fans of Diana Urban, Karen McManus, and Jessica Goodman. Now in paperback.

Seventeen-year-old Emily Walters has a secret. In fact, she has so many she's basically lying to everyone around her. Her most shameful se­cret places her on a jet to Paris along with eleven other teens from private schools across the US to compete for a prestigious scholarship. The cash prize will not only cover tuition to the college of Emily's choice but also lift her and her mother out of poverty.

But almost from the moment she and the other contestants board the plane, things begin to go wrong, and it is clear somebody will do any­thing to win. Between dealing with her best friend's flirty boyfriend and hiding her own dark secrets, Emily's not sure how she'll survive the con­test, much less the flight. Especially when people start dying . . .

As loyalties shift and secrets are revealed, Emily must figure out who to trust and who's trying to kill them all before she becomes the next victim.
