Jennifer Fenn's debut novel inspired by true events, about a teenage boy who has stolen--and crashed--not one, but three airplanes. And each time he's walked away unscathed.Who is Robert Jackson Kelly? Is he a juvenile delinquent? A criminal mastermind? A folk hero? One thing is clear: Robert always defies what people think of him. And now, the kid who failed at school, relationships, and almost everything in life, is determined to successfully steal and land a plane. Told as an investigation into Robert's psyche, the narrative includes multiple points of view as well as documentary elements like emails, official records, and interviews with people who knew Robert. Ultimately, Flight Risk is a thrilling story about one teenager who is determined to find a moment of transcendence after everyone else has written him off as lost.

Besides that internal exploration, the novel also interrogates the public's fascination with criminals who gain cult status by evading capture." - VOYA
