Ask Me No Questions #13


"I can feel it, the water pressing all around us, pulsing from below. Abba's fingers reach for mine.

And we do as he taught us. We hold our breaths, then let them out, bit by bit.
We push forward , into the the unknown. Go." (page 159)

To me this is a great way to end the book, it lives you with the image of water and breathing in the book which was a huge theme and activity in the book. My favorite part is when Nadira says, Abba's fingers reach for mine. That made me think of the family reconnecting and joining into a family again. That would be a joy to there family to reconnect and to have a fresh beginning. When they speak of holding their breaths, then letting them out, bit by bit. First thing i think about is being in sync. They are taking it one step at a time as a family, which is good for them, because they were sepereated for a good amount of time. I'm glad everyone is straightened out especially Aisha opening up about her family, that was a great choice on her part. We push forward, into the unknown. Go. That was a great way to end the book just the perfect cliff hanger but not to much. This was an awesome book, and I would definately recommend it!
