A powerful and engaging exploration of contemporary Asian American

airport, written by award-winning and bestselling East and
Southeast Asian American authors including Linda Sue Park, Grace
Lin, Erin Entrada Kelly, Traci Chee, and Ellen Oh. Flying Lessons
meets Black Boy Joy. ***Six Starred Reviews!*** "Reminds us that a

"Not only important, but essential."--School Library Journal,
Starred Review An incident at a TSA security check point sows chaos
and rumors, creating a chain of events that impacts twelve young
Asian Americans in a crowded and restless airport. As their
disrupted journeys crisscross and collide, they encounter fellow
travelers--some helpful, some hostile--as they discover the
challenges of friendship, the power of courage, the importance of
the right word at the right time, and the unexpected significance
of a blue Stratocaster electric guitar. Twelve powerhouse Asian
American authors explore themes of identity and belonging in the
entwined experiences of young people whose family roots may extend
to East and Southeast Asia, but who are themselves distinctly
American. Written by Linda Sue Park, Erin Entrada Kelly, Grace Lin,
Traci Chee, Mike Chen, Meredith Ireland, Mike Jung, Minh Lê, Ellen
Oh, Randy Ribay, Christina Soontornvat, and Susan Tan, and edited
by Ellen Oh.
