A moment spent alone doing something I enjoyed...

My parents were at a wedding dinner and there was no one at home… I ate my dinner slowly as there was nothing to do. Hmm… What should I do, considering I have finished all my homework? Then, the shiny plastic wrapping of a book caught my eye. It was the book I've bought during the December holidays. I started reading it, lying on the bed, stomach down.

“Piper decided to jump off the roof. It wasn't a rash decision on her part. This was her plan—climb to the top of the roof, pick up speed by running from one end all the way to the other. Jump off. Finally, and most importantly, don’t fall. She didn't make plans in the event she did fall, because if you jump off the roof of your house and land on your head, you really don’t need any plans from that point on. Even Piper knew that. So that’s what she did. She jumped clean off her roof. But before we get to what happens next, you’ll probably need to know a thing or two about a thing or two…” –page 1, The Girl Who Could Fly

When I finished reading the whole book, I was thinking, “Wow! It was really good! I hope there would be a sequel…” Why is this book so good, you ask? Well, you know Stephenie Meyer, the author of the Twilight saga? This was what she said…

“It’s the oddest/sweetest mix of Little House on the Prairie and X-men. I was smiling the whole time (except for the part where I cried)… Prepare to have your heart warmed.” –Stephenie Meyer, the author of the Twilight saga

So, if this book could make her feel emotional, this would probably make you feel it too. (Unless you have no feelings, then I have nothing to say.)

This book IS a definite must-read and I would recommend it to everyone.

Synopsis

Ever since Piper was a baby, she’s been able to hover a few feet off the ground, and if the people of Lowland County knew she could fly, they would have something to say about it. So, it only seems best that Piper be sent away to I.N.S.A.N.E., the top secret school for children with extraordinary abilities like hers. Her new friends have powers like telekinesis, X-ray vision, and the ability to create their own weather. Piper likes her new life at school, but soon, she realises things aren’t as they seem. Now, the school she was sent to for her own protection might be the most dangerous place she’s ever been.
