Flight 29 Down
2006
chapter 1-5
The book starts out in a small plane with ten passengers and a somewhat annoyed pilot. The ten passengers are students on a flight over the ocean to an earned vacation with their parents. Their parents left earlier on a different plane, and they are in the middle of a raging storm. The pilot is struggling to keep the plane on course and his compass has just gone haywire. The kids are in the back, totally oblivious to the imminent crash landing. Two of the engines get destroyed by a strike of lightning and the plane loses altitude. The pilot amazingly finds an island to crash on and they crash into the beach. Everyone is alive and they all stumble onto the beach. Different characters have started to emerge and personalities start to crash. One boy starts to explore and climbs a near dune. He comes to the sudden realization that they are stranded on a desolate island without anyone else. They decide to split up and one group goes and explores the jungle. A young boy named Lex in the other group realizes that the tide is coming up and the plane is going to be swept to sea. But no one will listen to him because he is so young... and that's as far as I've got.

That sounds like a good book, but is the plane actually swept away???
ReplyDeletegood book but i would not want to be on that plane.
ReplyDeleteOK, Did you actually read Lord of the Flies so that you remember it much? Based on what you have written here, I am willing to bet CASH that the inspiration for this book that you are reading is Lord of the Flies... Well, or maybe reality TV. Nevermind. I don't have any cash, anyway.
