I just finished MAC Hill's Jett Cooper and loved how everything came together for all the characters at the end after navigating genuine challenges. Lots of action, emotional tension, and humour. Well researched & well written by @melaniehillauthor.bsky.social #reading #kidlit #booksky

Middle grade fiction softcover book held in someone's lap. The book title is Jett Cooper in bright orange-red above cartoon-style illustration of teen pilot in cockpit.

Reading a flying scene with special effects. Thanks to Lachie for directing, and the wind for timing the gusts at the right spot.

JETT COOPER is a middle-grade action story about flying, but it also carries something deeper at its heart. #middlegradebooks #flying #aviation #loveozmg
