"Its greatest strength emerges when the tale balances quiet moments of
self-realization, identity, and friendship with an action-packed plot." School Library Journal
Review
“The sequel to the best-selling The Girl Who Could Fly centers on
Piper's friend Conrad Harrington, son of the soon-to-be president,
whose special talent is that he is smarter than the average genius. Now
living happily on Piper's family's farm, he is willing to let the bad
times go, but, not surprisingly, trouble finds them both....What
keeps this centered...is the firm friendship of Piper and Conrad.” Booklist
