No Passengers Beyond This Point
I started reading this story on July 24, 2020. I finished this story on Wednesday August 5, 2020. It had
241 pages. It was written in 2011.
"Worry is like a dripping faucet--every drip makes you imagine something bad on the way...trouble....trouble...trouble..do something...do something...do something."

The bank owned the Tompkins house away so they're moving to Colorado to live with Uncle Red
India gets a call from her best friend Matty about an upcoming party, she doesn't tell her about the move
They leave for the airport. Mrs. Thompkins will join them in three months. Finn left his model solar system at home.
The plane is having turbulence. The children think it's a nice way of saying the plane is having a seizure. India tries to call home to find out that the phone has been disconnected. She than tries mom's cell and leaves a message that they've landed. They travel from the airport in a taxi which has bird feathers on the seats. They see breathtaking mountains when they reach the road.
All the children's names were sky written in the sky. They passed a truck that says "We love you India, Finn and Mouse." Chuck gives them all pieces of wood which they have to put together in order to call him. They all have cottages with paths leading to them and a parental figure has just made them peanut butter cookies.
"When something good happens don't question it. Just go for it."
Maddy

The computers in the houses have the heart factor, where they can predict what someone wants based on their past.
"Relive your Moment. Return to the Home of your Dreams. Photos, memories, videos, mementoes of your day. Relive your day. Return to Euphoria."

"People want what they can't have. They make decisions they can't live with."

India gets lost, when this earthquake hits and shifts realities or something. She tries to find Mouse and Finn. Dean drives her back to the market. Then she gets savagely attacked by all these birds. A white cat saves her.
India got a ticket from a guy named Mickey. He cons India out of her bracelet her mother gave her on her Thirteenth birthday, he then just goes into a shop and slams the door.
India got a phone and calls Maddy. She gets a computer and a tiny watch. Men take India away saying she is in violation of code 7522.
India got a position as a a greeter. She gave it up because of Mouse's broken arm.
Chuck and the kids are in the cab searching for the black box. Chuck leaves them at the airport to get India back at the town. They were in Birds Nest Passage. It had feathered covered sheets, tables which were constructed from egg cartons, and feathered covered coatstands etc. Finn and Mouse hid in lockers when they saw some guards searching for them. They both locked themselves in, however Mouse locked herself in so well she couldn't get out. Her locker opened by following three steps:
"1) Remember what you want to forget
2) Ask yourself a question you can't answer
3) Remember what you wish for more than anything you had forgotten."
No Passengers Beyond This Point Gennifer Choldenko p. 163
1) They remember how much they miss Mommy
2) Why dosen't India play with me anymore?

"Dissatisfaction is infectious. There are pockets of discontent in every society...No city is perfect.
No Passengers Beyond This Point Gennifer Choldenko p. 190
Chuck gives India Bings wallet, which was dads old wallet. Mouse and Finn are trapped in an avalanche of dirt. A dog saves them. They call him boom, because of the lightning and thunder storm.
India goes to the bathroom to look inside the wallet. She finds a picture of her mom and dad while her mother is pregnant with Mouse. There's a note on the back of it that says, "Sparky has your back."
"I want a chance to live my life my own way."
No Passengers Beyond This Point Gennifer Choldenko p. 208
India gives up her communicator with Maddy for a golf cart. The dog is like a bulldozer for them. He digs a path out for the children in minutes. They steal a segway, but before talk to Uncle Red.
India rescues Mouse, Finn and Boom at the airport. Boom keeps the security guards off the cart so they make a getaway.
"Sometimes people get more mad at you when you're right than when you're wrong."
Bing

Finn has an armpatch which guides them to the blackbox like a GPS
Finn is not well, they go in the trees. They barely survive another thunderstorm. Trees around them explode into piles of amber.
It turns out that they were the survivors of an airplane crash. Boom, short for Boomerang, rescued them by bringing his owner Finns shoe. Boom got a collar from his owner after that. The dog, Boom, was the only part of the childrens dream that was real.
