For Hugo Ballard, flying on the Hindenburg is a dream come true. Hugo, his parents, and his younger sister, Gertie, are making the thrilling four-thousand-mile journey across the Atlantic Ocean in a zeppelin as big as the Titanic.

But as the Hindenburg gets ready to land, a blast rocks the airship and fire consumes it entirely in a mere thirty-two seconds. In the moment of the explosion, Hugo finds himself separated from his family and in a desperate race to escape the flames. The Hindenburg is doomed — and so, it seems, is Hugo. Can he survive this historic disaster?
