Opening Lines:

It was a hot, clear day on the South Pacific, and the ocean had that slow, lazy feel that could rock you to sleep with its gently rolling swells. The captain of the chugging trawler was bored and playing checkers with his first mate while another crewman stayed at the ship's wheel. There wasn't much to talk about, so nobody did much talking. They had hauled in their catch and were headed for port, and that was all that mattered.

Then the crewman at the wheel yelled, "Hey, Cap! There's something off the port bow!"

To add to the confusion, someone seems to have pushed the island's self-destruct button. Earthquakes and erosion are tearing the island apart, and every moment is precious in the Coopers' search for the real Adam MacKenzie.

Opening Lines:

"Hey, listen, I don't need to hear any more foolish talk about ghosts!" said Jerry Frieden with a dusty slap against his thigh. "Dr. Cooper's entrusted this task to us, and I say we just get at it!"

"Nobody's talking about ghosts," Bill White drawled from under the brim of his hat. 

​"We just don't want anyone to get hurt," Jeff Brannigan tried to explain. "And that goes especially for you."

Opening Lines:

The morning was warm and clear at Yokota Air Base, near Tokyo, Japan. A C-141 Starlifter, a hug jet transport and one of the prime workhorses of the Military Aiflift Command, stood waiting and ready on the apron like a monstrous, winged whale. The cargo was secure, the Aircraft Commander and crew were ready for departure, but the plane's crew door stood open, and its powerful engines remained cold and silent.

Opening Lines:

The sky was still black, the stars were still out, and dawn was nothing more than a thin, red ribbon along the horizon when the sirens went off, wailing rudely across the vast army camp. As one man, the army of black warriors awoke--there were no dawdlers, no one who dared to slumber beyond reveille. The desert rattled with the slap and clatter of a thousand hands grabbing a thousand rifles. The soldiers leaped to their feet and burst from their tents, dashing across the sand, lining up in long, even rows on the flat desert. They stood at attention, rifles ready, eyes straight ahead, primed for battle.

Opening Lines:

Chico Valles, machete in hand, hacked his way along the narrow trail, oblivious to the constant chatter of cicadas and the raucous screams of tropical birds. Sweat trickled down his stubbled face. The thick, encroaching jungle pressed in on him from every direction. It reached with limbs, slapped with leaves, grabbed with vine tendrils. He forced it back with his machete and pressed on as he did every day, running errands for Basehart the American.

Finally he reached the clearing where the Corys had set up their camp. He stopped. 

The camp looked deserted.

Opening Lines:

It took a dare--a double dare--for Pete and Jim to get Mannie and Kyle to camp overnight with them in the middle of the old graveyard. Pete was fourteen and had made the dare. Jim was thirteen. Mannie and Kyle, who were both ten, took the dare and were scared before they'd even finished hiking to the place. Spending the night in a graveyard was spooky enough, but this was the cemetery above the old ghost town of Bodine, Arizona. Every kid in that part of the country had heard the weird tales about what had happened there a hundred years ago.

​Opening Lines:

Jay Cooper sat in the 182 Skylane's right seat, his hand on the control yoke, watching the horizon over the plane's nose and enjoying the view of the Cascade Mountains passing below. A gentle wind from the Pacific Ocean was rippling over the snow-frosted peaks like river water over smooth stones, making the airplane's wings rock lazily and its nose nod and wag in little yeses and nos. With gentle corrections to the control yoke, Jay held the plane on course and maintained a steady descent rate of five hundred feet per minute. At fourteen, he was three years too young to be a licensed pilot. But he'd flown often enough with his father to know how to handle an airplane. 

Mayday at Two Thousand Five Hundred
(Cooper Kids Adventures, Book 8)

by Frank E. Peretti

Fourteen-year-old Jay Cooper is enjoying the view from his Uncle Rex's Cessna when a low-flying 757 speeds past them. Caught in its wind turbulence, their small plane is shaken violently, knocking Rex unconscious and leaving Jay blind from a head injury.
​
With fuel running out fast, Jay drifting in and out of consciousness, and the plane heading straight for a mountain range, this high-flying adventure shows the importance of faith as Jay faces numerous unseen dangers.
