My Thoughts
This was a fabulous book. From the first chapter where you read what seems to be a lab experiment gone terribly wrong the action never stops. There is a lot of humor built into the book that will definitely grab middle grade kids. Anthony Dimair has started high school with his best friends. However, in addition to the normal teenage angst he suddenly sprouts wings and doesn't know why. The author has created characters that are very believable in their actions. You get a feel immediately that they are teens. He has created a plot that will keep you reading from beginning to end. I read the whole book in just two hours. I was surprised by the way the book ended. I didn't want it to end that way. However, I have to say that since this is the first book in this series that it definitely had a great ending. I can't wait until the next book comes out. I am sure this is a book that my students will definitely love. I can't wait to introduce them to it tomorrow.

I stumbled on your blog while trying to find the end of the internet and I'm so glad I did. Thanks for the review of this book because I'm sure I would've never found it without. I loved every minute and was sad and excited when I finished to find that only book 2 was out. I wanted to read it all the way to the end. At the same time I love catching hold of a series that's still developing. I hope this becomes a movie some day.
