Midwesterner Piper McCloud, who can fly, is whisked off to a top-secret institute whose purpose is to make the children normal at all costs. Piper's indomitable personality makes credible her efforts to rally an elite resistance force, and readers will take strength from Piper's fight to be herself. Forester's down-home-farm and futuristic-ice-bunker-institute settings are unified by a rock-solid point of view.
