The Cooper Kids Adventures #8
Flying Blind
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.

About the author
Frank E. Peretti
85 books3,842 followersFROM HIS WEBSITE:
With more than 12 million novels in print, Frank Peretti is nothing short of a publishing phenomenon and has been called “America’s hottest Christian novelist.”
Peretti is a natural storyteller who, as a youngster in Seattle, regularly gathered the neighborhood children for animated storytelling sessions. After graduating from high school, he began playing banjo with a local bluegrass group. He and his wife were married in 1972, and Peretti soon moved from touring with a pop band to launching a modest Christian music ministry. Peretti later spent time studying English, screen writing and film at UCLA and then assisted his father in pastoring a small Assembly of God church. In 1983, he gave up his pastoring position and began taking construction jobs to make ends meet. While working at a local ski factory, he began writing This Present Darkness, the book that would catapult him into the public eye. After numerous rejections from publishers and a slow start in sales, word-of-mouth enthusiasm finally lifted This Present Darkness onto a tidal wave of interest in spiritual warfare. The book appeared on Bookstore Journal’s bestseller list every month for more than eight years. Peretti’s two spiritual warfare novels, This Present Darkness (1998) and Piercing the Darkness (1989), captivated readers, together selling more than 3.5 million copies. The Oath was awarded the 1996 Gold Medallion Award for best fiction.
For kids, Peretti wrote The Cooper Kids Adventure Series (Crossways and Tommy Nelson), which remains a best-selling series for children with sales exceeding 1 million copies. In August 2000, Peretti released the hilarious children’s audiocassette series titled Wild and Wacky Totally True Bible Stories, reprising his role as Mr. Henry, the offbeat substitute Sunday School teacher found in two Visual Bible for Kids videos.
Peretti released his first-ever non-fiction book, The Wounded Spirit in 2000, which quickly became a best-seller. The book addresses the pain of “wounded spirits” and was written as a result of painful childhood experiences.
Frank Peretti and his wife, Barbara Jean, live in the Western U.S. In spite of sudden fame and notoriety, Frank still lives a simple, well-rounded life that includes carpentry, banjo making, sculpturing, bicycling and hiking. He is also an avid pilot.

An exciting thrill ride.

Reread in June 2023
The drama! The action! The cheese! Is it biblical? No. Is it a classic? No. Is it the most skilled writing worthy of awards? No. But I liked it when I was a kid, and I can still appreciate it now.
This is the last book in the series, and the weakest. It has no archaeology, no history, no exotic setting, no villain, no time travel, no mystery, no biblical story connections. Except for the writing style, and having the same three main characters, it doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the series. Maybe Peretti wanted to do a one-off story about Jay, and later he planned to do a one-off story about Lila, which never happened?
This book also has one of my pet peeves: A female character asks a male character "What do we do now?" as if the girl hasn't got brains to form her own ideas and opinions. Ugh.

I did not really enjoy this book that much that's why it got 3 stars.
I got bored, but I have to say I'm surprised I finished it.

Awesome adventure story, and fitting end to the Cooper Kids series...
With in the first couple of pages this book grabs you and pulls you in. The action starts right away, and the risks are high. Jake Cooper goes flying with family friend, and their small Cessna gets caught in the turbulence of a large jet. With the pilot knocked conscious and Jake suffering from a knock on the head that has caused him to be blind the stakes are high. I wish I could say more about this book, but I’m afraid of giving away too many spoilers. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure stories, but you might feel more invested in the character if you read the other Cooper Kids book first.

A final thrilling story of the Cooper family! Jay Cooper is on a family vacation to Washington State. He has been flying a scenic flight in a Cessna airplane owned and piloted by his Uncle Rex with Jake as a passenger working toward experience for his own piloting license. After being caught in wind-turbulence from a commercial jet experiencing engine failure, both are knocked out. While Jake is able to awaken, he is blinded and Rex has suffered a massive concussion rendering him completely unconscious.
Will Dr. Cooper and Lyla ever see their Jay again? The race is on from air traffic control and hundreds of staff to Dr. Cooper himself flying side-by-side in his own Cessna airplane to assist his son in landing the plane in one piece. In this heart-pounding conclusion to the Cooper Kids adventure series, Frank Peretti's faith shines onto the pages of his narrative as a steadfast faith in God is all the stands between the Cooper Family and certain tragedy. It was a fitting end to a fun book series I began over 30 years ago but never finished.
God Speed Dr. Jake, Jay and Lyla Cooper!

Cooper Kids series by Frank Peretti
Recommend with some notes below.
I loved these as a kid! I don't remember how old I was when I read them, but the suggestion range on the cover is 10-14. Some of these are intense as kids books go so depending on the child some may ok earlier, but I think the stated range is probably accurate for most.
As an adult who just reread them, they aren't top tier literature. That's ok. They're still good reads & their aimed at kids. Not everything needs to be top tier.
One of my favorite things about the series is that it is solidly Christian. Not "oh we threw a prayer in over the meal so it's Christian" but scared: pray, thankful: pray, confused: pray for guidance, running for your life: pray as you run. But it's not hokey. It feels very real as a kid reading the books & is faith building!
The series is a mix of genres and this is where my age caution really comes from. If I had to categorize all of the books with one label is would be "Spiritual Thrillers (for kids)" though the adventure label definitely applies to all of them also. Breaking it out:
Book 1: Door in the Dragons Throat - spiritual thriller
Book 2: Escape from the Island of Aquarius - adventure/maybe a bit of science fiction ala Journey to the Center of the Earth
Book 3: Tombs of Anak - spiritual thriller
Book 4: Trapped at the Bottom of the Sea - adventure/"real life (unrealistic)" peril- this is the one book where you don't see the 3 Coopers getting along harmoniously & you see tensions and hurt feelings.
Book 5: Secret of the Desert Stone - adventure, definitely supernatural aspects but it's not a thriller
Book 6: Deadly Curse of Toco-Rey - thriller but not a spiritual thriller
Book 7: Legend of Annie Murphy - science fiction
Book 8: Flying Blind - adventure/realistic peril
As a kid the ones that stood out to me the most & were the scariest are books 1, 3, and 6. Book 7 was odd in a different way because of the time travel, but it wasn't scary. Book 8 was my least favorite as a kid - I almost (but not really) found it boring. That's just because they're not traveling anywhere this time. As an adult it's the only one of the books that brought tears to my eyes - it's much easier to create separation when you're looking at extremes and improbable situations like running for your life in an underground booby trapped tomb than something that feels more familiar like the possibility of an air plane crash.
If you're not familiar with Peretti please preread these books. They're pretty unique in Juevenile Fiction from my experience. If you are familiar with Peretti don't worry, he writes to kids just fine and while there are those spiritual thriller aspects theyre quite tame compared to his adult novels!
The Cooper Kids (age 13 & 14) are the only kids in the series, which I actually like & kids will too I think because they're given adult sized tasks and are responsible with them. The kids as well as thei father & various other adults pray & reference the Bible with regulararity.
The theme of the books is God is bigger, stronger, more powerful than any other religion or curse. He controls the earth. He convicts. He reveals. He works things for our good. Few kids books give that awe-some perspective in my opinion and I'm glad that these books tackle that.

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.

The Cooper Kids series are the perfect thrillers for a twelve year old - or at least for me when I was twelve. I would find myself starting to get decently spooked and wanting to put the book down, but at the same time unable to tear myself away. Uh, it was agony for sure, but it was sure fun agony, if you know what I mean. (My second go around of reading these as an adult has me smirking at my young self - I scared easily I guess, ha!).
This title was new to me though. It was published when I was older and I guess I’d forgotten about the series or something. But I really enjoyed it as an adult so your high-intensity loving tweens will too!
I highly recommend these!

4.5/5 Stars
When a freak accident knocks out Jay's uncle in the puddle jumper of an airplane they're in, Jay must take on the pilot hat. But there's just one problem, he's been blinded by a head injury. Now he must fly and land the plane by voice guidance alone or both he and his uncle will be killed.
For part of the series, this was a great addition. I enjoyed that it wasn't supernatural but still tense and full of that adventurous side of things. I wasn't a huge fan of the women being relegated to cheerleaders on the sidelines, but let's face it, we're getting more progressive as the years go by and this was written decades ago by a man who is born older than that. So, take it as you will.
What this didn't feel like was the end of a series. Seems like there should have been more closure, and a stronger ending (again, especially for Lila, her last entry is sniveling in the airport listening to her brother spiraling). It was well done for a book from the series, but was a weird end to the series.
As usual, there is some religious tones to the book but not overwhelming, and honestly, in this situation, very justified. Anyways, recommend for young adventurers and for those looking for a fun, quick read.

"And without faith it is impossible to please God, for whoever would approach him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." - Hebrews 11:6
I found this book at a used book sale, and being a Frank Peretti fan, I decided to try it out along with another Cooper kids adventure. The other one was a typical adventure; this one was thrilling. Was it masterfully written for adults who look for perfect prose and hidden meanings? No, it was written for Juvenile fiction readers, but the story is so gripping, it will keep adults on the seats of their pants.
It starts as a routine day in flight for young Jay Cooper with his uncle Rex. An unforseen accident leaves him blind and in control of his uncle's plane, one he's familiar with, as his father owns one like it. But what happens is far from normal, foreseen, and an adventure of a lifetime for Jay Cooper. One he didn't have to travel halfway around the world for. With his father's support, his faith and trust in God, and half the country watching, Jay learns that just like the mission field, adventure can happen in your own back yard...

Jay and his uncle are out flying a small plane, enjoying the sights around Mt. Rainier when I nearby commercial jet loses an engine. The turbulence created by the larger plane throws their small aircraft around knocking the uncle unconscious and leaving Jay temporarily blinded. Jay is left to man the plane himself, and with the help of his father and air traffic control, must literally fly blindly if he is to save himself and his uncle.
This book was different that other books within the series, but it was not any less engaging. Some of the scenario was not very realistic, but it was exciting and I am sure younger audiences will look past the unrealistic aspects. As always, I enjoyed seeing the faith of the Cooper family as well as their close-knit relationship. This is definitely one I will be recommending to my students.

This was an amazing adventure of a fourteen year old boy by the name of Jay Cooper. Jay and his uncle Rex was flying a Skyland around the mountains of Seattle-Tacoma when a freak accident happended with a 747 that impacted them. With uncle Rex unconscious and Jay blinded from his injuries, the true character and courage starts to embolden all the characters in this book from the traffic controllers to Jay's family. Jay becomes pilot-in-command and flies the Skylane to save his life and his uncle's. Guided by his father in anothe Skylane he rises to the occassion.
Quotes:
"It's gone!" Chuck exclaimed over the radio. "It's gone into the clouds."
Parker shot a glance at Fleming. "Suppose it does land in the ocean. What are the chances of survival?"
They reached West Point and all five aircraft made a slow, steady turn like a flock of birds to the southeast.

Flying blind takes on a whole new meaning when 14-year old Jay Cooper loses his sight on a flight with his Uncle Rex, the pilot, and must take over flying the plane after his uncle becomes unconscious in the same impact that took his sight.
With minimal flight experience, Jay is guided over radio by his father coaching him on how to land the plane to save both his and his uncle's life.
Suspense rises as risks are assessed and rescue attempts are made. Most of the aviation jargon is explained in character interactions, so that the reader can follow along, even if unfamiliar with the terms.

Man oh man! Frank E. Peretti's writing is phenomenal! I could not put this book down, I think I read it in 2 days or less! It was such a roller coaster ride!
I definitely recommend this book for all ages, I believe you are never too old to read a book. The whole series was so interesting, with the adventure and mystery, and the way Peretti incorporated the Christian faith into his writing was catching!

At first I thought I would give this a four star rating but after reading it to the end I think it is still well worth a five star rating. No there is no history or exciting puzzles. But there is a thrill ride in an airplane. A good story of trusting in the Lord at all times. The Lord has our times in His hands. He determines our steps and knows our end. Thank you Peretti for that reminder in this exciting tale.

Jay Cooper goes flying with his uncle. Due to a near miss (in chapter one), he ends up having to fly the plane blind...literally. Great book for those older readers who have difficulty reading. It definitely holds your interest. Now I remember why Frank E. Peretti is one of my favorite authors.

This book involved using a bit of imagination as I am not quite sure if it could happen in real life. That being said, the author is definitely convincing.
I listened to this audiobook with my thirteen year old. We enjoyed this series together.

This book is pretty rough. Despite a good about of attention given to aviation in general, this kinda was terrible in regards to what transpired here.
Also, what’s with the departure from the formula. This is in no way a archeologist type adventure. Strange.

I did find myself skimming some of the pages to get through it quickly but still enjoyed it. After a close encounter with a low-flying 757, Jay (blind and drifting in an out of consciousness) is forced to fly and land the small plane because his uncle is unconscious.
