I really liked this book. It was easy for me to relate to because it is about a girl that is a senior in high school. She is trying to figure out what she wants to do after high school and she's confused about what's going on around her. Annie figures out what she really wants in life and she figures out that she doesn't want what everybody else does. I would suggest this book to high school girls. I liked this book. I didn't LOVE it, but i liked it a medium amount. Premise is a 17 year old girl who is fascinated by Chrsita McAuliffe, and with the "teacher in space" program. To her, it's more than the actual flying to space. It's symbolic of not being afraid to pursue your dreams. Not being afraid to let go of comfort, and what you know, to dare to follow dreams, and be uncomfortable.Great message, but probably could have been written a little better in parts-got a little long winded.
What do You think about Taking Off (2011)?
I really liked the first half of this book but the 2nd part kind of dragged on. Still it was good.

Not very ancient history, set in the 1980s!
