A parent would reach for this book when their child is experiencing the jitters of traveling solo between households or needs a high-interest, fast-paced read to overcome a reading slump. It is particularly suited for children of divorced parents who may feel anxious about the logistics of visiting a long-distance parent. The story follows a young boy flying to visit his father who encounters a terrifying supernatural presence on the plane. While the primary draw is the spooky mystery, the book gently addresses the emotional weight of living in two different places and the courage it takes to navigate scary situations alone. At 72 pages, it is approachable for reluctant readers but offers enough genuine suspense to keep more advanced readers engaged. It provides a safe space to explore fear and bravery within the relatable context of modern travel.
