The Girl Who Could Fly | 
pickThis was my #bookspin book! Now I‘ve read two from #bookspinbingo. This was recommended by the fifth grader that I tutor and I can see why she likes it- it was too dark and also too “on the nose” for my taste, but I can see why a child would like it and I enjoyed the ending!
Ready to go!! #bookspin #bookspinbingo
Thanks @TheAromaofBooks for organizing this fun TBR challenge!
pickThis a really fun series that mixes X-Men, Heroes, and other superhero tropes. A country girl discovers she has the ability to fly and is recruited into a special, top secret facility and meets other children with extraordinary abilities. However, something is not right at this institution and discovers how nefarious it truly is. Joining forces with her special peers, they band together to save the world.
pickAn adorable kids tale, so sweet and lovable.
pickAMAZING. A work of art. The first young adult book i ever read when i was 10. This book holds precious memories for me. You really start to worry for Piper. Whether she‘ll be able to fit in, make new friends and escape the institution. Piper is such a unique childlike character who has endless curiousity about the world. Unlike any other. A must read
These covers caught my eye at the bookstore and the blurb on the back sealed the deal.
Looks like a fun read. 🤞
I mean, with a description of 'Little House on the Prairie meets X-Men' how could I possibly resist? 😁
pickSurprisingly engrossing read. Didn't realize I'd almost read the entire book till everything was being wrapped up.
I really lucked out on my Harry Potter blind box and my Hungarian Horntail is guarding my new books!!!! Had an awesome time with this swap, @JoeStalksBeck!!! @melyndarae, I love everything!!! Hope you guys have a happy Easter!!! #easterbasketbookswap

Up next 😊📖
When homeschooled farm girl Piper McCloud reveals her ability to fly, she is quickly taken to a secret government facility to be trained with other exceptional children, but she soon realizes that something is very wrong and try‘s to escape.
“Piper decided to jump off the roof. She didn't make plans in the event she did fall, if you land on your head, you don't need any plans from that point on. So that's what she did, jumped clean off her roof.”
She #sail s through the air with the greatest of ease. #lyricalapril
#petpeeve # 2. When you are two books in a series and both say paperback, but they are not the same. They are two different sizes. In the long run I don't care but this annoys me.
pickThis one was incredible for a very long list of reasons, but the thing I found so refreshing is that the characters are exceptionally young; Piper herself is nine, and the eldest, Conrad, is only twelve. Their childlike view of the world gives the book a uniqueness and depth not seen in very much fiction today.
Catching up on photo challenges. #publishedinthe2000s #readjanuary. I think I put the right dates in.
pickStarting off my #litsy with a little known favorite of mine, Victoria Forrester's The Girl Who Could Fly! It may be a children's book, but Forrester does a wonderful job portraying depression in a way that neurotypicals could understand. The characters and their powers are as unique as their names. This book... It gives me life. It's such a bittersweet mix, but that's what makes it special to me.
