The Last Flight

A missionary supply flight. A violent jungle storm. Two children stranded where no one can see them from the sky.

Fourteen-year-old Micah Bennett thinks he is only helping his father, Dr. Daniel Bennett, make one more humanitarian supply run into a remote jungle village. The mission is supposed to be simple: deliver medicine, water filters, food packets, and a critical radio part to families cut off by storms.

But when weather closes in over the mountains and the helicopter goes down beneath the dense jungle canopy, everything changes.

Stranded in the wilderness with his injured younger sister, Sophie, Micah must remember his father’s final instructions and make impossible choices with almost no food, limited water, damaged supplies, and no clear way to call for help. Hidden beneath the trees, surrounded by rain, mud, insects, rising water, dangerous terrain, and the unknown sounds of the jungle, Micah and Sophie must work together to survive.

As search aircraft pass unseen overhead and the jungle closes in around them, every step becomes a test of courage, grief, faith, and endurance. Their only hope is to follow faint trail signs, protect the supplies that survived the crash, and keep moving toward a village they cannot see.

Inspired by real-world missionary aviation danger and remote jungle rescue stories, The Last Flight is a fast-paced survival adventure filled with suspense, emotion, danger, and hope. Perfect for readers who enjoy wilderness survival books, jungle adventure stories, helicopter crash survival, young heroes, sibling survival, clean action adventure, courage, missionary fiction, and gripping middle grade survival novels.

In the jungle, courage does not always feel brave.

Sometimes it feels like taking one more step because someone beside you still needs you.
