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. 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 she imagines flying over her 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.

Still Life With Tornado

[Young Adult Fiction (Ages 12-17)][*Read by the author - A. S. King] From acclaimed author A. S. King comes a surrealist novel about four teenagers who find unconventional ways to escape the pressures of their lives. Four teenagers are on the verge of exploding. The anxieties they face at every turn have nearly pushed them to the point of surrender: senseless high-stakes testing, the lingering damage of past trauma, the buried grief and guilt of tragic loss. They are desperate to cope, but no one is listening. So they will lie, they will split in two, they will turn inside out, they will even build an invisible helicopter to fly themselves far away -- but nothing releases the pressure. Because, as they discover, the only way to truly escape their world is to fly right into it. A. S. King's groundbreaking novel explores how we crawl through traumatic experience -- and find a way out.
