Sheer terror and a triumph of will.The disturbing visions in Into Thin Air capture a darker reality. This is a cautionary tale and an odyssey. The internet can be fraught with cobras that mesmerize children, catching them unaware, and spiriting them away. Maia is a child fighting a woman's battle in a nightmare world. Her survival becomes second to rescuing her friends. As the trio of desperate girls plan their escape, they cease being victims and become fighters. This is a very intense read. It's also a must-read for parents, grandparents, and caregivers who hold little lives in their hands.Ms. Martin did a brilliant job in lifting a veil, showing us the underbelly of humanity and the strength of the human spirit.
