Wings

Title: Wings
Author: Aprilynne Pike
Publisher: HarperTeen (Harper Collins)
Copyright: 2009
ISBN: 9780061668036


Fifteen year-old Laurel is new in town, and as a typical new-in-town teen, feels like she doesn't belong. The truth is, though, that she really doesn't. When Laurel says that she feels different from other teens, it's because she is. Laurel quickly meets David who befriends her and becomes the one person she can really trust. When a strange growth appears on her back and turns into something Laurel couldn't believe, she finds herself venturing into a world beyond her wildest imagination.

I found much of this book reminiscent of Twilight, but in a very different way. It is quite interesting and well written, especially to be Pike's debut novel. I recommend Wings, especially for teen girls ages 12-16. Wings is the first book in a set that is supposed to end up as four books by it's conclusion. Disney has purchased the rights to the book and it is set to be made into a movie in 2010.
