Dusty Reads (21)

Posted by

Dusty Reads is a weekly meme, hosted here, featuring a book that has been sitting unread on my home shelf for some time. To participate, add your link at the bottom. 
If you wish, you can grab the button and find more information here.

My pick this week:

The Girl Who Could Fly
Victoria Forester
Release date: June 24, 2008
by Feiwel & Friends

Goodreads / Purchase 

Piper McCloud lives with her normal ma and pa on a normal farm in normal Lowland County. But Piper isn’t your normal girl. 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 realizes 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.

I think I’ve had this one the longest out of all my unread books on my shelf. I’ve had it for at least two years. I just haven’t been in the mood for it since. Has anyone read this?

    I haven’t heard of this either but it sounds like it could be good. Two years is a long time! Hopefully you can get round to it soon. 🙂

    If I had to judge by the cover, I’d say I wouldn’t be interested in this book, but it sounds really interesting. Love the idea of the school being called I.N.S.A.N.E ha!

    ME! but not really. I kind of stopped before I could even reach half of it, I think that the plot was promising, its the words that were used or rather the accent that was used, was too strong. I couldnt dig it, its kinda like western or southern thingo, not so sure. but my head started to pound already that I had to put it down. Buut dont let me stop you from reading it, maybe i was just not in the mood when i read it. 🙂
