Gliding flight - Anne-Gine Goemans

Inventive, dreamy Gieles lives with his father and a flock of geese on a spotters' campsite beside an airstrip. The landscape is as isolated as Gieles himself. The fourteen-year-old boy is longing for affection from his mother, who is always away on hopeless missions to save the world from starvation. From the mysterious dreadlocked girl he has met online. As the houses in the area threaten to disappear because of new noise regulations and the relationship between Gieles's parents deteriorates, the boy conceives a desperate plan to try to reconnect his parents.
