The Boy Who Knew Everything (Piper McCloud #2)
There is a prophecy.
It speaks of a girl who can fly and a boy who knows everything. The prophecy says that they have the power to bring about great change...
The boy is Conrad Harrington III. The girl is Piper McCloud. They need their talents now, more than ever, if they are to save the world—and themselves.
The Boy who knew everything is a inconsistent squeal to The Girl who Could Fly. Conrad Harrington III a super-genius and his best friend Piper McCloud create a team of children with special abilities. They secretly execute rescue missions for a series of progressively wary natural disasters. Conrad starts to notice that all the disasters have something in common, as well as they could all lead up to something big and bad! Aside from that Conrad is dealing with his own internal and family issues.
EPIC
The Girl who could Fly was basically my childhood, and what got me first into reading, so when I heard this was coming out I became extremely excited. And just as I expected, it turned out amazing.
painfully disappointing. The writing has a completely different feel to it and my attachment to Conrad and Piper's friendship was my only incentive to finish the book. The tone is completely different than that of the first book, the pacing is all over the place, and the plot was just plain stupid. It read like bad fanfiction most of the time. Don't bother.
A worthy companion to the Girl Who Could Fly, The friendship between the two is very special, full of warmth and adventure this fantasy is also set very strongly in the real world giving it strength and a feeling of reality, as it brings in many other characters that one feels they know the full person of each one, making this novel a joy to read.
Stars: 3.5/5I have waited so long for this book to come out! I fell in love with The Girl Who Could Fly when it was first published way back in 2008. It is by far one of my absolute favorite Middle Grade novels. Piper was such an enchanting character, and Forester knew exactly how to create a fantastical tale that utterly drew you in. I was actually starting to lose hope that a second book would even be written. The Girl Who Could Fly had such a cliffhanger of an ending, and there was no second

I want to just say that I loved The Girl Who Could Fly. It is the only book on my bookshelf that has a completely broken spine from the numerous times that I read it over and over and over. I would read this middle school level book in public without shame because of how mind-blowing it was. So, when I heard about this book I was ecstatic to have a sequel to one of my all time favorite books.Sadly this book did not live up to the legacy of the first one. The first book had a nice blend ofThe Boy who knew everything is a inconsistent squeal to The Girl who Could Fly.
