Teenage Terror & Triumph

By Trevor M. - February 13, 2000

This is my favorite of Cooney's novels, and my students(grades 6th - 8th) love it as well. Cooney places her characters in the most traumatic situations(in this book, a plane crash) and then Mrs. Cooney reminds us, as the drama unfolds, that these are still young adults with the usual teen years' concerns. Kids love this book because it holds the suspense and contains some (decently depictedt); "blood & guts"; yet it keeps its listeners' attention more through the audience's identification with the book's characters. The only "challenge" with this book and young readers is the continuous switch in point of views. Cooney's style allows the reader to know the fears, thoughts, and also flaws of all these individuals brought together by this tragedy.

The very very special review, by Seth Holdridge

By seth - May 27, 2005

When I first saw the cover of the book, I thought that this was a book for 5th graders. But then I started to read the book and I realized that this book was more apporpriate for 7th and 8th graders. The book that I read is about a girl who is trying to find her true self. Her whole life, nobody had believed in her, and she wanted some way to prove to everyone, that she isn't useless.

But a certain event in the book makes Daniel think of the way he has been treating his parents, and that makes him change his mind about his parents. In this book, we learn that proving yourself is a constent theme that reoccurs in the... read more

Flight 116 Is Down Is Awesome!!!

By A Kid's Review - June 1, 2006

Flight 116 Is Down is the best book ever!! I am an extremely avid reader, and this is the only book that I can read front to back and 2 minutes after reading the last page start it all over!! I love this book because it's soooooooo descripitive!! Most kids that hate to read and are forced to for school read the first chapter and the last chapter. This is impossible with her books!!
