Ask the Passengers

Astrid Jones copes with her small towns gossip and narrow-mindedness by staring at the sky and imagining that shes sending love to the passengers in the airplanes flying high over her backyard. Maybe theyll know what to do with it. Maybe itll make them happy. Maybe theyll<i>need</i>it. Her mother doesnt want it, her fathers always stoned, her perfect sisters too busy trying to fit in, and the people in her small town would never allow her to love the person she really wants to: another girl named Dee. Theres no one Astrid feels she can talk to about this deep secret or the profound questions that shes trying to answer. But little does she know just how much sending her love--and asking the right questions--will affect the passengers lives, and her own, for the better. <div> <div><br /> In this unmistakably original portrayal of a girl struggling to break free of societys boxes and definitions, Printz Honor author A.S. King asks readers to question<i>everything</i>--and offers hope to those who will never stop seeking and sharing real love.</div> </div
