Free Sky

Born and raised in a sterile genetics laboratory, Sky has never known love, nor laughter nor human kindness. She even had to name herself. Sky knows she was born different, special - And for much more than her twelve-foot, raven wings too. She is good-hearted and kind with big hopes and dreams all her own, but the scientists who oversee Sky only value her as an experiment.One night, Sky is given the chance to slip her bonds and fly from Iclandu, the secretive, island research facility that has been her only home since birth. She is ecstatic about her newfound freedom, but soon discovers life on the outside among "normal" people is harder than she imagines. Sky must overcome prejudice, mistrust, and the hazards of middle school life as she tries to make a new start for herself in this very different and confusing world of texting, popularity, and math class. Will she ever be able to make friends and adjust?At the same time, Iclandu is not about to allow Sky to simply fly away. To what extremes will the devious researchers resort in recapturing their prized experiment, and what will Sky be willing to sacrifice to keep herself and her new friends safe? Her future is by no means certain, and she is continually forced to ask herself - Will she ever truly become Free Sky?
