If there's one thing Georgie Hall has always been, it's determined.

So when her step cousins Eleanor and Eddy tell her that she can't fly, Georgie doesn't get discouraged -- she just tries harder. She feels a peculiar lightness when she leaps from the top of the staircase, and is even more certain of her seemingly impossible ability when she jumps from the porch and soars to the rooftop before landing safely on the ground. And now that a mysterious Canada goose is visiting Georgie's window on a nightly basis, the Hall family begins to wonder just what Georgie is capable of....

The teens find themselves flung into the future.

As I read the book, I kept thinking that I may have felt very differently about this book had I read it as a child. At times I really enjoyed her use of language and her writing style. Other than that, the characters weren't all that interesting, or frankly, all that like-able to me, and I wanted to get drawn into the story of little Georgie and her Goose Prince, but it never quite happened.
