Customer Reviews

Amazing Book... Definetely Worth It!

This book was really hard to get in to at first... but hang on, because the end is really worth it! If you like romance or mystery books this book is for you. It is an amazing story, and is written exceptionally well... I would definetely reccommend it to anybody over the age of 11 years old (some parts may be inappropriate). Enjoy!!

Incredible

Before Wings was one of the best books I've ever read in my entire life. It's very powerful and had me thinking about it for days after I was done with it. It's definitely a book that will make you think about life and why you're here. It sends an important messege which is why it will always be one of my favorite books.

Magical, mystery tour

Adrien is a wonderful heroine. She is both loyal and willing to stand up for herself even when those trying to lead her down a dangerous path are older. At the same time, her near-death experience with a brain aneurysm makes her cynical and antisocial. She deserves the nickname "Grouch". Adrien meets Paul, another camp staffer whose intensity keeps others away. The relationship that developes between these two "outcasts" is intense. In addition to romance, this book has several mysteries about things both past and future which keep the pages turning. This book was recommended by a librarian friend and her fifteen year old daughter. It should win some kind of award.
