"Scott Westerfeld developed the series, wrote the first novel, and outlined all seven of the books, but six other authors will write the rest. The second book of the series will be written by Jennifer A. Nielsen."--Author's website.

When Aero Horizon 16 crashes in the Arctic, eight children emerge from the wreckage to find themselves alone and surrounded, not by ice, but by a mysterious and deadly jungle full of carnivorous plants and predatory birds--the other five hundred people from the plane are gone, not necessarily dead, but taken by something that lives in the jungle. Horizon is the debut middle grade novel for Scott Westerfeld.
