Over the Rainbow is the story of seventeen year old Zippy who leads a very closed in life due to her father, a member of a homophobic church and strong believer in keeping her on a short leash. Zippy is allowed a laptop for homework when she joins a forum to befriend a girl who lives in Seattle. The girls quickly form a strong bond and fall in love. Her father, who is running for State Senator, finds emails between the girls and sends Zippy to anti-gay camp for the summer. Zippy escapes the airport by hiding in a suitcase which boards a plane in the luggage hold. Things start to go terribly wrong when the plane crashes, Zippy, Frankie (another passenger) and a dog called Judy are the only survivors. They search for help only to find the whole world has faced The Rapture. The story follows a small group of people and their journey to find loved ones and a new life in the new world.
Wow...this book was completely enthralling. It's like Alice in Wonderland meets Little Red Riding Hood all rolled up with Jurassic Park. There is such a mix of things happening that it kept me on tenterhooks at all times, i literally sat up until 1 am reading it. The story moved me from the aspect of how bigoted her father was with regards to homosexuals, to the friendship that the group of survivors built between them. There was action throughout, especially with the crash and then throwing in the Dinosaurs. It was a wonderfully written fantasy that incorporated a strong moral of being able to be who you want without being repressed by society.
