Wings by Jason Lethcoe
2.0
Not a fan. I know that this is just the first in a series, but there was no central conflict that received some sort of resolution. It really felt like I only read the exposition of a longer story. The writing was very elementary and nothing in the book seemed original (cross between the Paradise Lost and Neverending Story).
This is an LYRC nominated book for grades 6-8. As a 7th grade teacher, I read this and cannot believe that the book was listed for this age group. I suppose the subject matter is more for 11-14 year olds, but I can't imagine any of my students being interested in this novel with books like The Hunger Games on the shelves.
Do not waste your time on this series if you are older than 11.
