I'm going to hide this in case whoever was working on it comes back to it and put a brief summary instead. The chapter summaries are quite well detailed if further information is needed.

[[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.
