The Girl Who Could Fly
Ratings4
Average rating4.3
*You can't keep a good girl down...unless you use the proper methods.*
Piper McCloud can fly. Just like that. Easy as pie.
Sure, she hasn't mastered reverse propulsion and her loops are kind of sloppy, but she's real good at loop-the-loops.
Problem is, the good folk of Lowland County are afraid of Piper. And her ma is 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. (Plus all the homemade apple pie she can eat!) But Piper is special, even among the special. And there are consequences. Consequences too dire to talk about. Too crazy to consider. And too dangerous to ignore.
At turns exhilarating and terrifying, Victoria Forester's debut novel is an unforgettable story of defiance and courage about an irrepressible heroine who can, who will, who must...fly.

The narration style of this book took a bit of getting used to, and even at the end of the story I had trouble picturing the children as children, or at least as children as young as they were stated as being. Even so, this is a delightful book, and it explores how people are different from one another and how we can use those differences to either help or hurt the people around us. And it does this without being preachy, which is so very refreshing.
I LOVED this one, I heard it described as “Little House on the Prairie meets X Men” and that is a very good description! It was just a really fun read, with great characters and a entertaining storyline. I really really hope there is a sequel in the works!!
