"Piper decided to jump off the roof. It wasn't a rash decision on her part. This was her plan: Climb to the top of the roof, pick up speed by running from one end all the way to the other. Jump off. Finally, and most importantly, don't fall. She didn't make plans in the event she did fall, because if you jump off the roof of your house and land on your head, you really don't need any plans from that point on. Even Piper knew that. So that's what she did. She jumped clean off her roof. But before we get to what happens next, you'll probably need to know a thing or two about a thing or two..." - Back CoverI first came across this book on Stephanie Meyer's website. She described it this way: "It's the oddest/sweetest mix of Little House on the Prairie and X-Men. I was smiling the whole time (except for the part where I cried). Prepare to have your heart warmed."
I was intrigued by that description so I bought the book, and let me just say that it's exactly as Stephanie Meyer described it. Piper is so Laura Ingalls-like. I laughed out loud at some of the things she said. I tried really hard not to cry at one point in the book, but Piper is just so darn sweet and lovable.
There is a great deal of child-appropriate X-Men-type adventure but I won't spoil that for you. You'll just have to read it for yourself and in the words of Stephanie Meyer: "Prepare to have your heart warmed."
