<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Jimmy and his friends are on a cross-country flight when terrorists seize the plane. The boys take action and rescue the plane, but when it crashes in the middle of nowhere, they must survive in the wilderness.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>They can rule the half-pipe, but can they survive this? <p/> Jimmy, David, and Henry are psyched. It's summer, school's out, and they are on their way to California, where they will be able to do some major skating. But on the plane, the unthinkable happens: They are hijacked by terrorists. As frightened as they may be, they take action and they succeed. Sort of. They may have beaten the terrorists, but now their plane has crashed in the middle of nowhere and all of a sudden, their summer vacation is about finding food, shelter, and a rescue. Can three normal twelve-year-old boys find a way to get by without fast food and skate parks?<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Dan Gutman hated to read when he was a kid.
