the Girl who could Fly

Piper McCloud can fly. Just like that. Easy as pie. Problem is, the good folk of Lowland County are afraid of Piper. And her ma’s at her wit’s end. So it seems only fitting that she leave her parents’ farm to attend a top-secret, maximum-security school for kids with exceptional abilities. School is great at first with a bunch of new friends whose skills range from super-strength to super-genius. But Piper is special, even among the special. And there are consequences too dire to talk about. Too crazy to consider. And too dangerous to ignore.

I loved this book. It was so sweet, and different, almost like a cross between Little house on the Prairie and X-men.  The plot was pretty original, and the writing was well done. It made me think of The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stuart, so fans of that amazing series will probably enjoy it. Overall I give it 8/10 :)
Cheerio!!
