Twelve-year-old Mateo dreams of the sky, while his eleven-year-old sister, Sofia, can fix any engine you put in front of her. Their favorite place in the world is their Abuelo's dusty, hillside hangar in the heart of the Andes mountains, home to a small, bright yellow plane they've lovingly rebuilt: the Condorito.

It's a brittle, hand-drawn guide to a legendary Inca treasure—the Inti Raymi's Glimmer, a mythical golden sun disc hidden somewhere in the clouds.
