Discover the Art of Flying!




I just checked out some books from the library, and one of them is...
The Girl Who Could Fly By Victoria Forester


Piper McCloud is an 11 year old girl who was born with the ability to fly. She lives in a small country home in the south, where life is pretty much normal. Well, that is, until Piper shows her impressive flying skills. Ma and Pa McCloud are reluctant to give Piper away to I.N.S.A.N.E, an organization where Piper is promised to learn to develop her flying skills. The institute is run by Dr. Hellion and Agent A. Agent(yes, that is his real name.) 
There are other children there too, with powers, just like Piper. There, she grows to love her home... until the truth gets out.

But one day, Piper and her friends find out that the institute was not what it was all cut out to be. I.N.S.A.N.E.'s purpose was to erase all traces of individuality in the world. An escape plan involves them pushing their strengths and willpower to the breaking point. Will Piper and her friends be able to defeat Dr. Hellion and be free again? Or will they stay there while their powers are disappearing? Read the book and find out!

I really liked this book, mainly because the characters seemed so real!(other than their magical powers.) I personally especially enjoy reading about characters that I feel I could reach out and touch, or talk to in real life. Although books with not as realistic characters can also be well developed, Piper appealed to me in this way. 

As always, feel free to comment on any books you have questions on, you have read, or I have written about in the past. :)
