Getting Air by Dan Gutman

When I saw this book, I thought it was about skateboarding. It does include that, but it's really a survival story. Four kids are on their way to California to watch the X games when terrorists take over their plane. This story is about their adventure. I didn't think it was a really "tense" survival story. In fact, it was rather goofy at times. I thought it was a little on the "rough" side, but I think kids will like it.

Topics: skateboarding, X games, sponsorship, plane hijackers, knitters, old ladies, wilderness survival, group dynamics, Girl Scouts

Genre: realistic fiction

Mrs. Beckwith's Rating: 3 of 5
