What I learned from this book was that some skateboarders get in a plane to get to the skateboard competitions in florida alone without asking their parents because they did not let them go by them selfs. The four kids and the other passengers where very terrified about the news. The plane was being hijacked!!What I learned in this book was that never go anywhere without permission of your parents because you never know something terrible might happen. I also learned that to listen to youtFascinating story. Of course some of it is rather unrealistic, but when you're reading a story or watching a movie you need to suspend your sense of reality. If you can't do that I'd say stick to nonfiction. I had no problem doing that for this book the adventure of 3 boys, a smarty pants little sister, and a group of old knitting ladies goes through was awesome. It sort of reminded me of a really good children's movie, like Despicable Me :) I would highly recommend this book to any kid who

This article makes me feel that Dan Gutman's writing style is similiar to Gary Paulsen's. They both write about many concise and entertaining novels about different topics. As seen in this book, Dan Gutman wrote in a casual and simple first person narrative, yet he addresses many controversial topics, such as terrorism and survival, by including unique and urban-centered characters and ideas. One example is when the survivors try to make fire. "'I saw this in a movie once,' he said. 'somebody
Many young readers might appreciate the book for its fast pace, but overall I thought the book was a bit superficial, with none of the problems really feeling realistic or dangerous. For a book about a plane crash survival, I never once worried for the characters and every problem was solved far too easily. The skateboarding connection felt really disconnected from the rest of the book.
This was my 1st time ever reading this book and I wanted to read this book so I could get some fast AR points and I was surprised how well I liked this book.This book is about Jason,his 3 friends and his little sister who crash land on a plane in the forest. They must learn to survive and wait to get rescued. I wish that the plot and dialogue could have been better than what it was. I really loved all the action in this book. the action just made the book more interesting.The worst part about
Skip it!! Completely unbelievable plot and characters. How could an 80 year old woman possible be thrown out of a crashing airplane, get up and walk over a kilometer, meet up with a group of kids, then walk back to where her part of the plane crashed, pick up luggage and walk back where they decided to camp. Would an 80 year old woman, a young preteen girl, a twenty something beauty, and a group of young teen boys all take off their clothes and dance around in the rain??? And the only jerks in
