In the buzzing city of New York, 12-year-old Gabriel Scott retreats from his parents' constant arguing into a virtual world of adventure and companionship. Unfortunately, as summer comes along, his parents ship him off to Kenton Woods to stay with grandparents he hasn't seen in years. Trapped in a world of small town life, Gabriel suddenly finds himself cut off from the only friends he ever had when he discovers that his grandparents don't even own a computer. After sulking in the house for a few days, his grandfather drags him outside and Gabriel takes his first steps into the real world. Gathering all his courage, he talks to Liam, their neighbors' son, who hands him a small sheet of paper and asks for his help. From that day on, Gabriel follows Liam and his friends on a treasure hunt across town. With the entire school on their heels, they rush to solve riddle after riddle, slowly closing in on that which no one has ever found before. Along the way, Gabriel meets the head-butting twins Jack and Jordan, their dog Cat, the insane story-teller Eddie and Hannah, a young girl locked up in her room. Hand in hand, they work to help Hannah escape and take her along on their adventure. Having spent her entire life cut off from the rest of the world, Gabriel finds a kindred spirit in the red-haired girl with the glowing eyes. But one day, a secret Hannah has been carefully hiding from the group rears its ugly head and threatens to shatter Gabriel's new life and the place he thought he'd finally found in the world.

Airborne Trilogy #1 Fireflies (available) #2 Butterflies (coming June 2015) After the treasure hunt that brought Gabriel together with his friends over the summer, a new adventure lurks on the horizon. When Eddie accidentally stumbles on a group of seniors planning this year’s secret Halloween party, the five friends decide they must discover its location. However, finding the location is only the beginning of more trouble lying in wait. Love infiltrates their little group. While the budding relationship between Liam and Jordan stirs the butterflies that so far had slept in their tummies, it at the same time crushes the heart of another member of their group. Eventually not only Jack but also Eddie confide in Gabriel and share a secret that threaten to break the bonds of friendship. Now it is up to Gabriel to find a way through the maze of feelings that stand between his friends and a happily-ever-after. Bound to secrecy, Gabriel turns to the one person he feels can help him…Hannah. Although Gabriel lost the red-haired girl with the glowing eyes at the end of summer, he still finds himself talking to the little firefly, who was his friend and understood him like no one ever had. And Hannah answers. Offering advice and encouragement, Hannah guides Gabriel through another trying time in his life. Struggling with his friends’ secrets, Gabriel can’t help but wonder what they would think of his own. Would they think him crazy for speaking to a firefly? And even more so, for hearing her answer?

In the new year, Gabriel is faced with a difficult decision: go home to New York and live with his parents or stay in Kenton Woods with his friends. However, Gabriel is not the only one confronted by a problem at Kenton Woods Middle School. After taking the fall for Eddie for destroying Principal Hall’s precious rose bushes, Jack is suspended from the football team.

When the friends find out, they decide to follow Eddie’s plan, and ultimately, Jack’s sister Jordan is chosen as his replacement. However, that’s when new trouble begins. For not everyone in Kenton Woods likes to see a girl on the football team. Will Jordan, who has never backed down from a challenge, triumph once more? Or is this too much even for her to handle? Will she accept help from her friends or choose to stand alone? And what will Gabriel decide?
