Eleven-year-old Piper McCloud lives in Lowland County on a farm. She has been gifted with the extraordinary ability to fly since birth.
When Piper learns about her unique talent she decides to hone her God-given gift by flying from her parent’s roof top. That is until her parents learn about it and put a complete stop to it, well they tried to anyway. But like any tenacious child that went in one ear and came out the other. ‘How could she stop flying? She was made for this,’ Piper thought.
However, when the people in Lowland County learn about this, the gossip mill goes so far out that it reaches the headquarters of the Institute of Normalcy, Stability, And Non-Exceptionality (I.N.S.A.N.E), a government institute for children with extraordinary talents. Naturally, Piper becomes the latest recruit to join this talented pool of children.
Happy to be surrounded with children like herself, Piper settles into her new life at I.N.S.A.N.E. But just before Piper becomes all-too comfortable, her fairy-tale world begins to crumble, leaving her with shattered dreams and an urgency to get back home to her once simple life.
This
story is so gorgeous and rich with quality writing. I could not put this book
down. Each page came to life for me. It is a turn pager for sure. I fell absolutely in love with the children,
especially Conrad. There was a poignant part in the book that just left my
heart broken in two.
I highly recommend The Girl Who Could Fly for children both young and young at heart.
I
hope she makes this into a series.
