Psssh! We're goin' down!

I just got this this past Saturday, and I'm almost done with it! It's got more than 200 pages, but you'll love it so much, you'd wish there were more! I haven't finished the book, but I think it'll be a a cliff-hanger so, you'll have to get the other books. I used to watch the show, 'till they took it off of NBC. (Which was really sad, as I don't have the Discovery Kids Channel. :( ) I would also reccomend the DVD'S. Even though I haven't actually gotten them, I watched the show and loved it. So, unless you've got the channel, that's the only way you can see it. And you've got to see it! The book is like you watching the show. They didn't change too much. So if you missed episodes, or just want to see what the show was like, this book will help. (I can actually remember them saying some of the exact things on the show that's in the book.) So you might even enjoy the book more if you've seen the show. Even though the book is the show, in book form, it is SOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than the Disney books! So as you can see, I think this is an awesome book and if you get it you'll think so, too. :)

I think that everyone who reads this book will be happy that they did. If you don't believe me then you better try this book out for your self. P.S. To preview this book there is also a show on Discovery Kids and see if you would like to read it and put yourself in their shoes

The book is SO COOL!!!

I really love the Flight 29 Down show, but I read a chapter of this book on Discovery Kids.com, and you know what? The show is complete wimpy Snoresville compared to the book!!! For one thing, they put in more stuff than the show: all kinds of background information about the characters,and completely dramatic action they could NEVER have pulled off on TV. Also, you can't always lug a TV everywhere, but that's no problem with a little paperback. Third, They never abridged the story: anything they changed was just stuff ADDED IN. On the other hand, you miss out on the great acting and score, but if you watched the show you can picture that in your head.

Surviving a plane crash! A review by Drew, T.J. Eric and Jesus

Mayday, mayday! They're going down! Bshhhhhh! They've crash landed on an unknown island. Leadership is what the kids in the book, Flight 29 Down need in order to survive this crash landing. The author of this book, D.J. MacHale, writes with nail-biting suspense. After every chapter you want to keep asking yourself,"What's going to happen next?" This book is about a group of teenagers who went on a class trip across the Pacific and a storm causes them to crash land on a deserted island. After the pilot and three other kids go into the jungle to look for help, the rest of the group has to try to survive with the little food and water they have. The main characters in this book are, Daley, Nathan and Jackson. These characters learn that it doesn't matter who's the leader, but they need to work together to survive. If you're ages 10 or up, and you like books of how people survive horrible dangers, we would recommend this great book by a New York Times bestselling author, D.J. MacHale.
