Interpretation In Pursuance Of Books Ask the Passengers

Astrid Jones desperately wants to confide in someone, but her mother's pushiness and her father's lack of interest tell her they're the last people she can trust. Instead, Astrid spends hours lying on the backyard picnic table watching airplanes fly overhead. She doesn't know the passengers inside, but they're the only people who won't judge her when she asks them her most personal questions--like what it means that she's falling in love with a girl.

As her secret relationship becomes more intense and her friends demand answers, Astrid has nowhere left to turn. She can't share the truth with anyone except the people at thirty thousand feet, and they don't even know she's there. But little does Astrid know just how much even the tiniest connection will affect these strangers' lives--and her own--for the better.

In this truly original portrayal of a girl struggling to break free of society's definitions, Printz Honor author A.S. King asks readers to question everything--and offers hope to those who will never stop seeking real love.

Evaluate Based On Books Ask the Passengers

Wow, this book is the proof that I should give second chances more often.When I first started this book this summer, I just stopped 30 pages in, for no particular reason. But then I decided that I heard too many good things about it and should give it a new try, so that's what I did, and I'm glad.Astrid lives in a small town where everybody gossip about everybody, where some people think Holocaust never happened, where being gay is a sin and some people walk around with 'straight pride'

Originally posted on A Reader of Fictions.Okay, it's official. I think A.S. King is one of the very best YA writers out there. Ask the Passengers is only my second experience with King, but I loved it just as much as, perhaps even more than, the first one I read, Everybody Sees the Ants. Even better, King falls into that realm of authors who can do something totally new every time. She has some themes in common, but the books themselves are very different. One has a younger male teen lead, one

Lovely story - understated, but incredibly gripping. And my love for A.S. King is confirmed once again.To love this book, you need to love its narrator, and for me at least Astrid is impossible not to love.Sure, she's a questioning teenager, and she's confused - but she's sensible too. She's hurt, but resilient; emotional, but rational.Her voice is calm, even through the hurdles she has to overcome, and when she finally loses her cool, she does it in a way that only made me appreciate her more.

"I freed myself of something I was faking, and now I want to free myself of all my faking." This is a story about Astrid, who's a nerd, loves studying philosophy and humanities and speaking to and sending love to passengers on the plane. More importantly, this book is about her struggling with her sexuality and wanting freedom from labels and wanting to find herself.I was really enjoying myself reading the first half of this book. I loved Astrid's reflections, the perspective's we would get

"'I don't know. I'm still not even sure, I don't think. I mean, how do I know?''It's not a guy?'I shake my head.Justin hoots. 'Dude! You're one of us!'I keep shaking my head, and I add a shrug, but I'd be lying if I told you that his excitement and invitation into -one of them- isn't making me cringe. Because I'm not in this to be a member of some club. I'm not going through this so I can lock myself into the -one of them- box. 'So, you're questioning?' she says.'I guess.'Astrid Jones goes to

Astrid Jones sends her love to strangers. She gives it away to passengers in the sky, because that's the only way she'll be free. Her demanding, over-controlling mother talks at her, her dad smokes pot, and her sister worries too much about her reputation to be of any help. Living in a small town has its downsides, and Astrid realizes just how damaging those downsides are when she finds herself falling in love - with a girl.What a voice. Astrid's perception of her surroundings struck me as wise
