It begins with an itch on Edward's back that he can't quite scratch. After his mother's death, Edward is sent to a school for troubled youth, where his anger reveals new abilities. Wings #1 will appeal to those readers who are fans of the supernatural, and who are interested in starting a series. It is a good read, though there are parts of the book which move slow.

My son picked this one up from a book fair and enjoyed it when I read it to him. It didn't really give me any thrills though.

How many other books can you combine in one?

Just a plain old good book. I think it speaks directly to its target kid audience--a neat little mystery, exploration of morality, ethics, and some emotional angst, mechanical gadgets, and overall fun. I believe it's from a Christian publisher and religion and faith do come up, but I didn't feel like I was hit over the head with it. The faith is simply part of the kid's life, rather than a separate element to be made much of.
