{{for|Summary:Skyward|a complete chapter by chapter summary}}
[[Spensa]] has dreamed of being a pilot since she was a child. Inspired by her father, then fueled with outrage by the [[DDF]]'s accusations of cowardice following his death, Spensa spends the next decade preparing for the [[flight school]] entrance exam. Gaining entrance to the program with the help of her new instructor [[Cobb]], Spensa teams up with nine fellow trainees to form [[Skyward Flight]] and battle the [[KRELL|Krell]], an alien force trying to destroy the [[Defiant League|Defiant]] colony. Aided by the mysterious stealth fighter [[M-Bot]], whom she finds abandoned in a cave, Spensa must navigate the pitfalls of flight school, uncover the truth about her father's death, and try not to die at the hands of an enemy starfighter.

;[[Kimmalyn]]: Kimmalyn is an enthusiastic girl from [[Bountiful Cavern]], daughter of AA gunners. and was a pilot in Skyward Flight before she quit after Hurl's death. She often makes up wise sayings. She chose "Quick" as her callsign, but it became "Quirk" when her flightmates kept pronouncing it wrong.
;[[M-Bot]]: M-Bot is the AI in the derelict stealth ship that Spensa discovers. His memory has been corrupted, so all he remembers is his former pilot's last orders: "Lie low, M-bot. Take stock, don't get into any fights, and wait for me here." M-Bot determines that he was sent to categorize fungi. Single-minded in his obedience, he refuses to fight and is obsessed with gathering fungal life from the planet.
;[[Gran-Gran]]: Spensa's grandmother was aboard the ''[[Defiant (starship)|Defiant]]'' and worked with her mother in the engine room. She told Spensa stories of ancient heroes inspiring Spensa's regular use of creative threats.
