By turns exhilarating and terrifying this is an unforgettable story of defiance and courage starring an irrepressible heroine who can fly.
Piper McCloud can fly but that makes friends and family afraid of her. She leaves her parents’ farm to attend a top-secret, maximum-security school for kids with exceptional abilities, whose skills range from super-strength to super-genius. But Piper is special, even among the special. And there are consequences - consequences that are too dire to talk about, too crazy to consider and too dangerous to ignore.
Piper McCloud can fly. Just like that. Easy as pie.
Problem is, the good folk of Lowland County are afraid of Piper. And her ma's at her wits' end. So it seems only fitting that she leave her parents' farm to attend a top-secret, maximum-security school for kids with exceptional abilities.
Born in Canada, Victoria Forester grew up on a remote farm in Ontario. She has spent most of her career writing screenplays, and this is her debut novel. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and newborn daughter.
Piper McCloud can fly. Just like that.
