The Girl Who Could Fly by Victoria Forester

'In this terrific debut novel, readers meet Piper McCloud, the late-in-life daughter of farmers.The story soars, just like Piper, with enough loop-de-loops to keep kids uncertain about what will come next.Best of all are the book's strong, lightly wrapped messages about friendship and authenticity and the difference between doing well and doing good.'- Booklist, Starred Review Prepare to have your heart warmed.' Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight saga I gave it to my mom, and I'm reading it to my kids-it's absolutely multigenerational. I was smiling the whole time (except for the part where I cried). 'It's the oddest/sweetest mix of Little House on the Prairie and X-Men. Praise for Victoria Forester and The Girl Who Could Fly: And too dangerous to ignore.Īt turns exhilarating and terrifying, Victoria Forester's debut novel has been praised by Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight saga, as 'the oddest/sweetest mix of Little House on the Prairie and X-Men.Prepare to have your heart warmed.' The Girl Who Could Fly is an unforgettable story of defiance and courage about an irrepressible heroine who can, who will, who must. And there are consequences.Ĭonsequences too dire to talk about. (Plus all the homemade apple pie she can eat!) But Piper is special, even among the special. School is great at first with a bunch of new friends whose skills range from super-strength to super-genius. So it seems only fitting that she leave her parents' farm to attend a top-secret, maximum-security school for kids with exceptional abilities. Problem is, the good folk of Lowland County are afraid of Piper.

Sure, she hasn't mastered reverse propulsion and her turns are kind of sloppy, but she's real good at loop-the-loops.
