The Mysterious Island
“Eric screamed.
The earth seemed to swoop up at him as he plummeted toward the jungle. In seconds he would crash into the treetops.

Kaww! Kaww! the huge beast shrieked.
“– let me go!”
The groggle flapped quickly past Eric’s friend...s. They yelled something out to him, but he couldn’t hear what it was.
