Flight 29 Down Series by John Vornholt, D.J. MacHale, Stan Rogow, Walter Sorrells

The first two titles in a new series based on the show airing on NBC's Discovery Kids* Saturday morning lineup. When their charter plane crashes and the pilot vanishes, a disparate group of teenage survivors must figure out how to get along--if they want to survive.

The castaways from 29 Down have learned to fend for themselves, and it looks like island living may agree with them�at least until they�re rescued. But even while they hone their survival skills, the resentments and issues that divide them continue to grow. They�ve chosen a leader�but what good is a leader if he can�t keep the team together?

When Eric breaks the camp lighter and the fire goes out, the castaways are in real trouble. That fire is their source of heat, smoke signals, and, most importantly, clean water. No one is having much luck getting the fire going, but when Jackson gets very sick from drinking unsanitized water, the heat is really on. Can they get the fire lit again before it’s too late for one of their own?

Back in the real world, Abby was passive and mellow, but the need to survive changes people. While Daley and the others are safe at the campsite, Abby is roughing it in the jungle—no more yoga for this girl. When Abby returns to camp for a second time and challenges everything they have built, Daley expects the group to cling to the status quo—but she couldn’t be more wrong. Abby is ready to take action, and she’s not the only one.
