My son and myself have read all eight of the series now and have been very touched as well as entertained by the series. "Flying Blind" is a wonderful story of the Cooper family's ability to walk by faith and not by sight. As they are tested by some very trying circumstances God continues to reveal himself as a loving Father faithfully delivering his children thru difficult times. We have been blessed by reading about this family's very Good Friend who watches over and saves His people. Read the entire series and come to know this Good Friend better!

FLYING BLIND

I really enjoyed reading this book because it was very suspenseful. It was full of excitement, it made you not want to stop reading the book or even put it down. It was like being inside a movie acting it out as you read on. I believe everyone should have the Frank Peretti collection in their home. If it is your first time reading a book you should start on this book. If you like a book full of action and danger this is the book you should be reading. It takes place on a little two-passenger plane that belongs to jay's uncle. They both were having fun until a huge passenger plane had blown its engine. The force of the turbulence under the plane forced jay's plane out of control and knocking them both unconscious.

This is a book meant for younger readers but I got so caught up in the emotion of the action that it had me crying at times. While I was reading this I thought of book 4 in the series, Trapped at the Bottom of the Sea, where Lila is the one that is in danger this time its Jay that is in danger.
This all happened in the air so when they started talking technical terms it didn't mean much to me even though Peretti explains it all. At first when the characters started with the technical terms I wasn't sure I would like the book but despite the technical terms of flying and keeping in contact with the Tower the story was easy to read and it was fast paced. I didn't want to stop reading. I got hooked wanting to know that Jay would be okay. After having read the other books in the series I didn't want them to now lose a member of the family.
Frank Peretti is a Christian author so through this story you learn the importance of putting your faith and trust in God. Jay had to rely on God and others to keep the plane from crashing.

This one keeps you on the edge of your seat. Jay Cooper and his uncle were having a fun flight on his uncle's plane, when a larger plane knocked them terribly. Jay becomes blind, and his uncle is knocked unconscious. Jay must now atempt to land the plane without eyesight. He gets help, though, over the radio, from a friend, an airport trafic controler, and finally his father. His family down on the ground tries to think of a successful way for him to land the plane. But it may cost his uncle his life. Can Jay land the plane successfully without injuring himself or his uncle? This book grabs your attention, and keeps it!

I have every single book in the series and every single one of them are good! This particular one got me interested in planes. I am now looking forward to trying to get my pilot's license. Frank Peretti is one of the best authors in the world!!!!!

I AM A HUGE PERETTI FAN AND FOUND THIS COPY AT GOODWILL.
I HAD NEVER READ ANY OF THE ""COOPER KIDS"" BOOKS. IT WAS
A VERY NICE BOOK. I CAN SEE WHERE PARENTS WOULD LIKE THEIR KIDS
TO READ THIS VERY SAFE & SANE BOOK----AS OPPOSED TO SOME OF THE TRASH
THAT IS FLOATING AROUND OUT THERE.

I love Frank Perretti. This just captures kids attention and leaves them on the edge of their seat!

I just did not like the way this one begins. In fact, I haven't yet finished the book because of the weak beginning. Don't know if I ever will. However, I strongly recommend the Legend of Annie Murphy and other titles in this series. (see my review for the aforementioned title)

It's Frank Peretti's brilliant novel writing skills...condensed! It's a super-cool family of archeologists--minus a mother--who investigate phenomena in the spirit of Indiana Jones, only with a Christian perspective. A nice alternative to the gore and junk in the Indiana Jones movies.

Flying Blind isn't as exciting or as spectacular of a plot as some of the others, but still will keep you on the edge of your seat. Jay Cooper has been struck blind on board his uncle's plane due to airplane turbulence. Now, with the help of ground crew, family, friends, and relatives he must attempt to keep his unconscious uncle alive and land safely...all while he is Flying Blind.

This book appears to be the last of the Cooper kids adventure series, sadly. It's not as grand as some of the other novels, like I said, but it's still worth reading.

For the parents: A pretty tame book, compared to the others. Jay gets whacked on the head and bleeds a little. That's it.
