She makes some bold narrative choices in this one, but they work out incredibly well in the story. I hope your kids pick this up, I would love to hear more teenagers reading this book. I think there are so many thought-provoking, relatable scenarios that could make all the difference to some teens.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3521137437031942219.post-58236986713662719812013-03-19T13:56:26.042-05:002013-03-19T13:56:26.042-05:00I am so glad you liked this one.

I found Rainbow Boys, for example, to be extremely cliche, and a book about nothing except being gay. I've read a few others, and in my opinion, Ask the Passengers is a stand out.Annette Millshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13850197520930988077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3521137437031942219.post-66019541568961632062013-03-19T08:13:33.380-05:002013-03-19T08:13:33.380-05:00I really enjoyed "Please Ignore Vera Dietz&qu...I really enjoyed "Please Ignore Vera Dietz" and will definitely read more by Ms. King. What I find interesting with this book is the wide spectrum of response. A lot of people loved the philosophical aspect of this one while others that it was the same old same old in the GLBT lit world. I do plan on reading this one soon to see what the fuss is all about.
