She does not understand why she can't go to a "normal" school like her neighbors, but there is a good reason: Piper can fly. She had beenable to float in the a air as a young child, and her parents were worried that children at school would be frightened by her. But one summer day at a Fourth of July picnic, during a baseball game, Piper amazes (and scares!) the folk of Lowland County by flying while trying to catch a ball high in the air. Onc news is heard of a "girl who could fly", a woman named Letitia Hellion suggests to come to her institute for extraordinary children with amazing abilities. Through this "edge of your seat" novel, you'll love the adventure, mystery, and exhilarating circumstances and stories!

Negative content:

Language: A few dangs, hecks and the d**n word used twice.

Negativity in story: There is a women (Millie Mae Miller) who gossips to the other ladies on just about everything.
