Chuck is overweight, incompetent in farm work, and teased mercilessly by classmates. Lori is confident, active in extracurricular activities and respected by her peers. Their mother began a career as a motivational speaker after their father's accidental death and as a result has been more away from home than at it. The relationship among the three is strained and distant which only seems to worsen when Mom invites the two to join her for the first time on one of her speaking tours. But by trip'send, all have learned more about how the death has affected each of them and each come to a better understanding of each other. Takeoff and landings is a very emotional story. It is about a mother and her kids and how their relationship works. The mother isn’t home for most of the time because she flies around the country giving motivational speeches to everyone. So soon her children forget about her mother. So to make it up to them, she brought her 2 biggest children along for a trip of hers. This trip changed everything, lots of secrets were revealed and problems are caused and fixed. I recommend this book to children from 8 to 12. It is somewhat a sad story but I think they would still like it. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
