8 Flying High

CHAPTER 8 FLYING HIGH Mr. Fenderbender flies like he drives. We do loop-de-loops, barrel rolls, and dives. Penny throws up. Good thing I didn't eat breakfast.

After eight hours of aerial acrobatics, a red light goes on. Mrs. Green lines us up alphabetically, opens the door, checks our parachutes, and then pushes us out. Derek is first, but I'm secooooooond!

We land all over—east, west, north, and south. There are kids twisted in every possible gymnastic position. Mrs. Green grades us on our landings. Freddy is the only one who gets an F. He landed in a lion's mouth. BAD BREATH!

We are all a little shorter as we line up and march off into the jungle. The lion burps. Freddy would have liked that.
