Angie Liu Takes Flight

For fans of Front Desk, meet Angie Liu, she loves science and art with equal measure. Does she have to choose between the two?

Angie knows that engineering is complicated, but she’s always loved figuring out how things work, just like her engineer dad. She also loves drawing, just like her artist mom. But when her parents get divorced, Angie’s world is turned upside down and she’s no longer sure what or whom she loves. Soon, Angie is forced to spend time with her dad at the helicopter company where he works. Despite her initial reluctance, Angie thrives in this new environment. But is being interested in her dad’s work a betrayal to her mom? Angie must learn to reconcile the two halves of herself—and fix the open circuit that is her life.
