Flight 116 is down

FLIGHT #116 IS DOWN

BY Caroline B. Cooney

          In flight #116 is down Patrick Farquhar is a senior in high school and he has a special job. He is a junior EMT (emergency medical technician). He lives in a town in Connecticut named Nearing River. His dad Mr. Farquhar is a fire man after being an EMT. Patrick’s mother had quit driving Ambulance Squad after 14 years of taking one 12 hour shift a week and now she is a dispatcher for 911.

          Sixteen year old Heidi Landseth lives on and estate in the Dove house. She goes to a private school because her parents are rich. Her parents are gone and Heidi is home with Mrs. Camp, the house keeper, and Burk, the grounds keeper.

          Daniel, 15, and tuck, 13, are brothers who had to deal with their parents divorcing. They were on their way to their fathers wedding. Their dad is marrying a girl name Linda who the boys hate. They are going to the wedding but they never promised to be nice.

          Teddie is a 6 year old girl who has been with her grandparents for a while. Before she left her gramma and poppy put a quarter on her hand and put Mickey Mouse band aides around it. She is going back to be with her parents. Her dad is obsessed with videotaping. They are planning on videotaping Teddie when she sees her parents.

          Darienne is a rude person. She thinks she is on top of the world. She hates little kids. On the plane she has a magazine called Sports Illustrated. Her neighbor on the plane had a Glamour magazine. She wanted it bad. She sits by Teddie. 

          At exactly 5:41:30P.M., a 747 air plane crashed by the woods by Heidi’s house. Heidi ran out and was trying to save all the people. She called 911 but it took a while for them to get there. Patrick heard it so he drove as fast as he could so he could be the first one there. When Patrick arrives he is in shock with the mess. He goes and helps out with getting the people out of the plane wreckage and was getting them into the house.

          When the fire dept. and ambulance crew got there they were in awe as they looked upon the wreckage.

          Flight 116 is down is a wonderful book. If you like action books this is for you. At first the book was boring and then at chapter 5 everything got going. I would recommend this to everyone.
