…how was she going to do this? She looked out at the clouds for help. They looked as solid as whole cities suspended above her but only made her feel more lightheaded. She would focus on letting this be a normal day, she decided. After all, what could be more normal than today?
When Livy is accepted at Temple College, a school for the very brightest, no one is more surprised than her, though she has always felt different.
Recently, Livy's been drawn to the roof, where, among its towering stone angels, she has the strangest desire to fly.
But her behaviour is noticed by others, for whom the ability to defy gravity is a possible reality ...one that they'll stop at nothing to use for their own ends.
