Isaiah, Drew, and Darius are inseparable. They hang together and they stunt together. They are always betting to see who wins. They are convinced they will beat every Guiness Book record there is.
When tragedy strikes, Isaiah and Drew are left to carry on. Isaiah needs someone to grieve with, but he and Drew are handling things differently. Isaiah can't seem to open up to anyone which frustrates his concerned parents. They decide to send him to his aunt and uncle's farm for the summer.
The change of scenery and the physical labor help Isaiah begin to cope with his loss. Meeting new friends and accepting new challenges gives him the courage to share his feelings. By the end of the summer, he understands himself better and appreciates what a summer away has given him.
Author Alicia D. Williams uses verse to take readers on a journey of ups and downs and love and loss. Written in verse, MID-AIR is fast paced, filled with crazy stunts, heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same time.
