Hear me when I say this: nothing, ever, in my human life on this planet, will hit for me like this book. It's about orphan kids with wings living together in a weird boxcar-children scenario. They are the result of being experimented on, and then they are kidnapped for more experimenting. This book hit me hard when I was in the fifth grade.
I mean, me and my friends started a spontaneous book club at the age of ten. We did it just to accommodate how intensely we felt about this book. It was such a powerful experience for us.
That's once in a lifetime. It's a memory that will always stay with me. I'm doing this series to review books I read a long time ago, and this one is definitely at the top of the list.
