The Sky Prisoner(As:A.R. Cunningham)

Description

Arthur "Artie" MacArthur is a tenacious twelve-year-old with good detective instincts, somewhat questionable judgment, and two very good friends: Jenny Adams—tofu-eating and quick-witted, with a large dose of common sense and a sarcastic wit; and Sam Franklin—bologna-eating, sports-loving, mystery-hating, but always there in a pinch. From Artie and Sam's outrageous sandwich-making contests (the sight and smell of which makes Jenny nauseous), to the danger that lurks around every corner once Artie and his friends decide to solve a case, the humor and excitement is nonstop. In The Sky Prisoner Artie and his friends witness a small plane crash in the forest. When they arrive on the scene, the plane is empty, but they discover a coded message taped to the control panel. The plane was stolen from a nearby airport, one of many that have recently disappeared without a trace, and Artie is determined to break the code and solve the mystery of the missing planes. In this humorous and exciting adventure, Artie runs across a suspicious airport manager, lots of cows, a gang of airplane thieves, and he takes an unplanned airplane journey halfway across the country, the prisoner of a singing pilot who can’t hit the high notes.
