Silver Wings by R. A. Montgomery takes YOU on an adventure flying above - or crashing into! - the Baja Peninsula. 9-12 year old readers will learn to perform under pressure, piloting a motor glider through inclement conditions, caring for navigator Isabel after she falls mysteriously ill, escaping the threat of violent bandits, and helping friends Peter and Josh after an emergency landing. Choose Your Own Adventure Silver Wings is an interactive adventure book in which YOU decide what happens next. After a year of flight training, a surprise trip to the Baja Peninsula puts your skills to the test - but will they be enough to earn you your Silver Wings? Do you rush immediately to your friends' downed plane or wait till nightfall? Do you follow the shady character you spot snooping around the plane or stay hidden out of view? Who do you think tampered with your radio? For readers who enjoyed other titles from the Choose Your Own Adventure series, Struggle Down Under by Shannon Gilligan, Secret of the Ninja by Jay Leibold, and Smoke Jumpers by R. A. Montgomery.
