Heart for Thunder Judy Mcspadden

Thirteen-year-old Scott Callahan is smart; no doubt about it. Nicknamed "Einstein" by his friends, he has just won an award for building a radio-controlled spy plane he named "The Raven." But as smart as he is, Scott can't figure out how to get the one thing he really wants - time with his dad. That's not easy when Dad is Colonel "Astro" Callahan, leader of the world famous military jet team, The Thunderbirds. When his dad's not away flying supersonic air shows, he's signing autographs and running a military squadron. Scott never minded being a military brat before, but his patience with the military life is wearing thin. Finally, with the help of his buddy, Lucas, Scott comes up with a unique plan to win his dad's attention. The results not only endanger his dad's life, they send Scott literally skyward over the Nevada desert. Scott's pursuit of camaraderie becomes a perilous quest in search of himself.
