A girl who can fly? It may sound childish, but in fact, this book is one of the best I’ve ever read. Piper McCloud lives on a farm, and, you guessed it, she can fly. Suddenly, she’s whisked away to a top secret government school for special kids like her. Her new friends have all sorts of unique talents: telekinesis, x-ray vision, even the ability to create their own weather. Everything is perfect, until Piper finds out that nothing – not even the mouthwatering food that screams, “Eat me!” – is what it seems.

This book has a fantastic plot. The climax kept me on the edge of my seat, and the conclusion left me satisfied. The characters also fit in with the story well – from Sebastian, the friendly cricket, to Conrad, the super-genius. The author had such great voice in this book, it made me want to stand up and cheer on Piper and all her friends.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone. On a scale of one to ten, I’d give it eleven. If you’ll just let her, Piper will fly off the pages of this book and into your heart.
