Brian Robeson, thirteen years old boy, fly with small plane. He is the only one passenger on that plane with a pilot named Jim. He fly from Hampton, New York headed for the Canadian oil field to fisit his father. His parents are already divorce. When he fly, the pilot teach him how to fly the plane. He learn it so easily. He looks enjoy the lesson from pilot, but in his mind there is only 1 word, Divorce. Suddenly, the pilot got heart attack and died. The plane was tottaly lose control. He is very confiused and don't know what to do. He take over the plane and fly it like the pilot told him before. He fly it easily, but he don't know where the plane heading to. He ask for the help through the radio. But no one answered. In the roaring plane without pilot he was alone. All so hopeless...
This book is quite interesting for me. But there is too many unimportant words, for example : "The pilot sat large, his hands lightly on the wheel, feet on the rudder pedals. He seemed more a machine than a man, an extension of the plane". The writer want to give us the imagination about the story, but it's make me bored.

That's a very interesting point you make about the "unimportant" words. Some writers like to use long sentences with many clauses and many descriptive adjectives and adverbs, while others write very simply and focus on the action. If you find a writer whose style you prefer, try to find more books by the same author!
