Phobia: Dont Look Down

Simone Yang is afraid of heights. Like, REALLY afraid of heights. Flying alone on an aeroplane to visit her grandma for the summer freaks her out. So when a creepy old broken-down carnival comes to town, only the idea of impressing her new friends is enough to get Simone to ride the Ferris wheel. But as the ride creaks slowly toward the sky, can Simone keep her cool or is her worst fear about to come true?
