reviewed Taking Off on January 05, 2011 Taking Off
I was a junior in high school when the space shuttle Challenger exploded, and I remember vividly the feeling of devastation I felt in that moment. Like so many others, I was fascinated by the space shuttle program and followed its every move. I was enraptured and inspired by Christa McAuliffe. In Taking Off, Jenny Moss has captured the essence of that period of my life with sincerity. The protagonist Annie Porter is engaging and authentic. Her story is specific to a particular time and place, yet her struggle as a young adult trying find her way is timeless, common, and wonderful. I love everything about this novel. It is a must-read for introspective young adults and for readers who were teenagers in the eighties.
