I have just done reading Wings, novel by Aprilynne Pike that was released on May 5, 2009 in the U.K, Canada and the U.S.
It is about a 15 year old girl named Laurel that grew up with her hippie parents in Orick, Californa, where she was homeschooled by her mother. Laurel loves to live in Orick because she loves the fresh air and the freedom she has there. But now her parents plan to move to Crescent City, Californa and sell their house. So now while her parents finalize the documents, Laurel tries to ajust to going to a actually school and always being inside. But things changes when on her first day when she meets David, a handsome, tall and friendly guy who understands Laurel and the fact that she is a strict vegan. He also becomes the only person that laurel can talk to when she finds a strange bump on her back between her shoulders which srouts into a flower that looks almost like wings. So now together with David she tires to figure out just what is happening to her. When Laurel was 3 years old she was found on the porch of her parent's house by her parents in a hand woven basket. When she and her family go back to her old home to pick up some stuff she wonders off to a place she goes in the woods where she plays her guitar, which changes her life changes for she meets a guy named Tamani their that tells her she is a faerie, and that she was sent to her parents so that she would be the one to inherit their land which is of great importance to the faerie world.
