What happens when the girl who could fly can't fly anymore? Piper's ability has disappeared, perhaps the result of some dark spell put on her, or perhaps because her ability has simply vanished forever. There is a worldwide calamity that Piper, Conrad, and their exceptional friends must tackle to save the planet, but Piper is left behind. If she can't fly, then what use is she?Piper learns she can't do a lot of things--cook, clean, and help Ma around the house, for example. She feels more helpless than ever. It is the "normal" kids around her, kids she felt never liked her before, who end up helping her believe in herself again. Does she fly again? Yes. And in the process, she learns that life is always exceptional, and "abilities" come in many forms.

Here is the long-awaited companion to The Girl Who Could Fly, about a boy who teams up with the flying girl and other exceptional children to save the world. There is a prophecy. It speaks of a girl who can fly and a boy who knows everything. The prophecy says that they have the power to bring about great change . . . . The boy is Conrad Harrington III. The girl is Piper McCloud. They need their talents now, more than ever, if they are to save the world - and themselves.

You just can't keep a good girl down . . . unless you use the proper methods. Piper McCloud can fly—it's as easy as pie for her. While she struggles with some techniques, she's great at loop-the-loops. Unfortunately, the residents of Lowland County fear her abilities, and her mother is at her wit's end. This leads Piper to a top-secret, maximum-security school for kids with special talents. Initially, school is a joy, filled with new friends boasting skills from super-strength to super-genius, and plenty of homemade apple pie. However, Piper's uniqueness brings unforeseen consequences that are too dire and dangerous to ignore.
