The Girl Who Could Fly by
Victoria ForesterBritt's Review
Rating: 4 of 5 stars
When I first started reading this book, I didn’t like it because I thought it was too much like the book
The Lake House, by James Patterson. But, after a couple chapters, the story developed, and became its own.
The Girl Who Could Fly is very X-MENish with young children being put in a special school for children who have extraordinary powers. Piper McCloud can fly and is the newest admit to this ‘special’ school. The problem is, just when Piper starts to feel like she’s found a place where she belongs, things get turned upside down and she has to re-evaluate who her friends and enemies really are.
The end of the book hints that there will be a sequel, and I’ll gladly welcome it. There are a couple parts that some young readers might be scared by, but overall, content is appropriate for all ages.

Meet Daniel and Brittany
The challenge that began with "Have a nice life, Daniel Burton" is progressing with favorable results. Surviving and thriving on lively discussions about books, Abby, or the post-grad school world, the Burtons show signs of excellent health and familial success.
Dan and Britt met on a hot July 4th in 2005. Shortly after inviting her to join him for a panoramic view of the Independence Day fireworks, and not long after her denial, Daniel and Britt agreed to break the ice over ice cream. They soon realized that they were both book geeks, decided a permanent union was worth evaluating, and were married just over a year later on another beautiful July day.
After graduating with a law degree from both he and Brittany's alma mater's rival, Daniel is corporate counsel at the Woodbury Corporation, a commercial real estate management and development company in Salt Lake City. Meanwhile, and far more interestingly, Brittany is raising a new generation of Burtons as full-time mother and family creative director. Abby is two and a half, and #2 is on the way, with arrival expected in late June of 2011. The Burtons look forward to many years of exploring canyons, creeks, and mountain tops, swapping novels, notes, and ideas, and enjoying great discussions about people, politics, and their family.
Daniel and Brittany are both graduates of the 2002 class of Brigham Young University. Abby is gunning to graduate from diapers, sooner than later.
