Hall dies of a heart attack shortly after his oldest son is killed while serving in the military and the Hall twins, Grayson and Alec, take over the business. However, all of those dreams are threatened when Mr. Hall, Leah is eighteen and ready to start working as a banner plane pilot she graduates-it’s her ticket to a better future.
Eventually, after years of working at Hall Aviation and flying with Mr. Hall, the owner, takes Leah under his wing (ha! puns!) after she starts saving her paychecks for flying lessons. Leah’s world opens up when she gets a job working in the office at Hall Aviation, a company that tows banners in the air up and down the beach. That is until at age 14, she and her mother move into the trailer park next to the Heaven Beach Airport. Often facing eviction because her mother rarely works, Leah’s life has always been in upheaval. She lives with her mother who floats from town to town based on promises from each new boyfriend-promises that never come to fruition. Leah is a girl who’s grown up in trailer parks, most of which have been by airports. The other half, you ended up with two tall boys shadowing you through a trailer park, their fingers taking little nips at your clothes, like dogs.Īt first glance, Jennifer Echols’ new YA novel, Such a Rush, has all the tell-tale signs of a typical YA romance: two attractive boys, absent parents and high-stakes drama.Īnd, yet, between the covers (and what a gorgeous cover it is), you’ll find a sensitively-crafted story of an 18-year old girl, who’s never had it even remotely easy, trying to figure out what sort of person she’s going to be. In practice this worked about half the time. And they're about to discover that they have a lot more in common than either one of them could have dreamed.The TV said you should ignore bullies and they would stop harassing you. But Meg has her reasons for lashing out, and John has his reasons for his need for law and order. Meg in turn has nothing but contempt for Officer After's straight-laced, by-the-book attitude. He thinks he has Meg's number and has nothing but contempt for her childish rebellion. Compounding the punishment is the fact that the cop, John After, is only two years older than Meg, and a former classmate to boot. When she and her friends are busted for trespassing and underage drinking, she's sentenced to spend her spring break riding along with a rookie police officer on his nightshift patrol. Like hanging out on a railroad-tracks-covered bridge that's off-limits to trespassers. She sports choppy blue hair, and tight t-shirts, cuts class, and is often found where she's not supposed to be. High school senior Meg revels in being a rebel. Mtv Books Going Too Far by Jennifer Echols
