BOOK NAME: The Girl Who Could Fly
AUTHOR: Victoria Forester

Piper McCloud lived on a farm in Lowland Country. Nothing was out of the ordinary there. Yet Piper, she was out of the ordinary. She could… fly. Her parents, Betty and Joe, kept Piper private in their home. But one day, when they finally let her out, Piper revealed her flying ability in public. Suddenly, reporters started surrounding their home, wanting to know about the girl who could fly!

Then, a black helicopter landed on their property. The McClouds found out that this helicopter came from a secret facility, called I.N.S.A.N.E., that helped kids with extraordinary abilities. Betty and Joe ended up agreeing to send Piper to the facility.

At the facility, Piper met many kids with weird abilities like hers, like Lily, who was telekinetic, Violet, who was able to shrink, Conrad, who was some sort of freaky genius, and so many more. Soon, though, Piper found out that the facility was dangerous for her, and the rest of the children. But was it to late to do anything now?

I loved this book! The part I most enjoyed reading was about each child and their special ability. If I was most similar to one character, it would be Piper. In the book, Piper is always trying hard, and is so persistent, which is something I mostly try my best to be like. This book would really be one of the most interesting books I ever read, so thanks to the people who suggested that I read it!

    I agree with Mcfry3!! I saw FOURRRRRRRR friends at school reading this. Ranging from fourth to sixth graders. Even though I am soon to be in seventh grade, this book can be MAYBE to even for eight graders!
    I saw this book last year at our schools’ book fair and was skeptical about buying it because of the computer-animated cover. Now I know I’ll read it. And, just asking, who’s that evil-looking-lady on the cover???!!! I wanna know who’s chasing her!!

    Dear Phink,

    By the way, Phink, the evil-looking lady who is grabbing Piper McCloud’s ankle is Letitia Hellion.

    I liked this book, but it wasn’t the best book ever. It was a good read and i read it in a day xD I recommend it to those that read slowly though, because the author say, “stretches things out”
