It's boarding time for Zippy as he embarks on a whole new life. With a heart as big as his imagination, 10-year-old Zippy faces one of his biggest life challenges so far: flying unaccompanied on an airplane for the first time. He's off to see his mom, who now lives in another state after a recent divorce. Along the way, Zippy makes a host of new friends: pilots, gate agents, and flight attendants, who befriend him and show him the power of hope. Every shared story and open conversation shows Zippy how hope can get him through tough situations. As Zippy earns his second set of wings by meeting Hope, he discovers that bravery comes from being true to yourself and others. The second book in the "Alchemy Air" series, Zippy's meeting with Hope continues his travel journey into an epic adventure of self-discovery.
