Explanation / Answer

Here I would use Newton's first law of motion. The plane is accelerating backwards when landing. The book indeed has inertia, so Newton's first law suggests that the book would tend to remain in a constant state of motion, so it would tend to slip forward (relative to the plane), not backward. Hence the passenger's claim is refuted.
