Synopsis: On any given day, in any given city, countless people are arriving and departing: to visit loved ones, to close a business deal, to hook up with an old love, to find adventure. Intrepid traveler Luis is trapped in flight delay and has many hours to see and hear and sense his fellow passengers. As he grows more invisible, the kinetic world around him takes on a life of its own. Where can all these people be going? Where in the world do we belong? Part of the prestigious Gemma Open Door Series, originally designed for new readers, these books confirm the truth that a story doesn't have to be big to change our world.
