What Parents Need to Know
About Flight #116 Is Down!
Parents need to know that this book is intense -- some characters die, and there are gruesome injuries -- but it may be a good choice for reluctant readers. An impossible-to-put-down story, it makes no claim to being great literature, but realistic excitement directed straight at teens keeps them reading. This book may inspire readers to learn about emergency care.
