Summary: PRETTY GOOD BOOK
Comment: Imagine yourself being a perfect person with great grades, being pretty, and having lots of friends. Then, once you reach the big city and you know no one, your life turns around. Everyone gives you funny looks, your scared people will make fun of you, and it doesn't matter who you are or what you look like anymore.
Well, that is how it is like for Lori and her brother Chuck in this fiction novel called Takeoffs and Landings by Margaret Peterson Haddix.
In this story, Lori and Chuck don't see their mother that much ever since their father was killed on the farm. While their mom is out working, they live on a farm in a little place called Pickford County in Ohio. Lori and Chuck's mother invited them on a trip, which changes everyone's lives. As they travel to all of the big cities around the country, Lori finds out that she barely knows her mother. Lori thought she was the perfect girl until the trip, Chuck knew he was the kid everyone picked on and their mother was a mom that never saw her kids. While on the trip, the family fights constantly and they all learn things they never knew before.
Takeoffs and Landings shows many reasons why your whole life can change in a moments time. For instance, when Lori sneaked out in the streets of Atlanta on her own, her life changed instantly. She went from being well known and the prettiest girl in a little city to being alone and not so pretty in the big city. She was bumped every where she went, and no one said anything to her. She felt lost and very lonely. Will she find her way back and learn a different way to live life?
If you want to read an interesting book for teenagers that has great problems and conflicts of teen life's and shows a lot of courage and love, then you should read Takeoffs and Landings by Margaret Peterson Haddix.

Summary: A reader
Comment: This book was inspirational. It was a very enjoyable read. It was a privilage to see the development in each character and the relationships they have with each other. Beautifully composed, with a twist that stays true to the rest of the book.

Summary: Takeoffs and Landings
Comment: Takeoffs and Landings was a boring and monotonous novel, with uninteresting (and what seemed to be unimportant) dialogue and scenes. I found myself listlessly reading pages, and not even remembering what it was I had just read. The plot seemed too cliche-with a fat, made fun of brother, and the beautiful, popular sister uniting in their past. There were flashbacks to their history that seemed to have no importance to the present or future. I do not recomend this book for people that like a good or interesting read, or are advanced readers.
