Book Review, Middle Grade Fiction

Into Thin Air by S.E. Durrant

Into Thin Air is a captivating story of sisterhood, courage and the bonds that hold us together. Despite their disagreements, a shared purpose and deep love for each other lead 11-year-old Luna and her younger sister Jade on an adventure they’ll never forget.

Luna dreams of becoming an astronaut. She is in awe of her place in the universe, loves numbers and can’t wait to spend time with her dad watching the International Space Station pass overhead. But when he vanishes without warning, Luna fears he may not make it home.

Determined to discover what has happened, Luna joins forces with Jade and her best friend Casey. As they follow a trail of increasingly troubling clues, they begin to suspect that Dad’s disappearance isn’t what it seems. Something far more sinister is unfolding, and Dad may be in real danger. Along the way, Luna discovers that bravery isn’t about having all the answers; sometimes it means trusting the people beside you and finding the strength to keep going when everything feels impossible.

Set against themes of river pollution and environmental responsibility, Into Thin Air is an engaging, high-stakes adventure that combines mystery and suspense with a moving story about family, friendship and the joys (and challenges) of sisterhood.
