12-year old Eddie Adler is the only survivor of a plane crash that has killed 191 people, including his parents and his older brother, Jordan. His family was moving to California from New Jersey, and all having a hard time with that happening in their lives.
Eddie becomes Edward after going to live with his aunt Lacey and uncle John, who have been having a hard time conceiving children. Lacey was Jane's (Eddie's mother) sister. They try very hard to get Edward to start living normally, but Edward is not feeling normal.
This novel switches chapters from the present to the flight itself. You get to know some of the other passengers and their momentary connection to Edward.
I felt that this could have been more detailed in the way that Eddie was really feeling and living. While I liked the character and the friends that he makes after the crash, I really didn't feel the distress that is punctuated in the description of the book. I didn't really get a sense of Eddie's personality that much.
