is the extraordinary story of Piper McCloud, a girl who just can't keep her feet on the ground. When she is taken to a facility for children with interesting skills, she makes several new friends and some frightening discoveries that could change her future.
There has been a lot of hype about this, probably due entirely to Stephenie Meyer's recommendation. I admit I had a hard time getting into the story for the first half of the book. When things finally began to pick up about then, I thought it was very well done. It was a satisfactory and unique story. I loved Forester's writing, particularly her flying descriptions. This was one of my favorites:
reminded me of Savvy by Ingrid Law and maybe a tiny bit like Graceling by Kristin Cashore
reminded Stephenie Meyer of Little House on the Prairie and X-Men :)

I really liked this one, too, and I thought it was like Savvy in a way, as well. Maybe Stephenie Meyer hasn't read Savvy yet. :) Good review.
