I have to admit that the cover was the reason I chose to read this book. I am still on the fence on how I feel about this book. I did like how Piper evolves from a hometown girl to a more mature young lady. She starts off as a sort of big fish in a small pond, a place that she does not fit in. She s...

Sometimes a book doesn’t need to be perfectly written or even perfect to be considered perfect. The plot may be silly, the characters may lack a certain depth, the dialogue may be cheesy... but somehow it elicits such a strong emotional response from you, you’re able to ignore all of that and think,...
Whew, I've no desire to be harsh in a review of a children's book, but it might be difficult here. I'll do my best to be constructive rather than giving in and just ranting.I think I understand what the author was trying to accomplish with the ridiculous over-the-top-ness of everything here.

Aw man, I really wanted to like this.The cover promised a cross between "Little House on the Prairie" and "X-Men," which sounded promising, but I should have paid attention to the fact that it was Stephenie Meyer who wrote that quote.

Even so, this is a delightful book, and it explores how people are different from one anot...
Interesting charaters and stories within them. All ages could read and enjoy this book.
Halfway through this. Some of it is compelling, but the obviousness of adult character names (and cover art) gives away a lot of the mystery. Also, the author seems unsure of how to write effectively for a younger market with the sentence phrasing being overly complex followed by overly simple, as ...
(Full review can be found on my blog, Paper Riot.)If I would have to describe The Girl Who Could Fly in one word, it would be "adorable". That tends to be my first thought after a lot of middle grade books, but I really don't know how to put it otherwise. I was hooked from the first line and was una...
I LOVED this one, I heard it described as "Little House on the Prairie meets X Men" and that is a very good description! It was just a really fun read, with great characters and a entertaining storyline. I really really hope there is a sequel in the works!!
