Judge Appertaining To Books The Healing Spell

I truly enjoyed this book and would buy the hard cover to add to my library. A story of hope, love and family.Ms. Little is a master of descriptions in world setting and characters. I loved all the people in the book, even the bratty cousin and the baby alligator. Strange, I know but that is how well the author placed me in her story. And I felt like I had visited the bayou though I've never been.My favorite part was the healing spell and what Livie was willing to do to heal her mamma. I found

I loved the language in this one--this author really made the setting come alive. I really felt I was with the character as she travels around in her pirogue. From the first page: "My chest got so tight it felt like a gator squeezing my heart between his jaws." Who else but a bayou girl would describe her emotions this way and refer to a gator as "he"?

For Livie her biggest secret revolves around her mother, not only that but the circumstances surrounding her mother's coma. With a house full of people to constantly pester her and watch her every move Livie's only escape is the bayou and a wonderful little pet alligator. In her desperation she seeks outside help in the restoration of her mother, but at what

REVIEWThe Healing Spell takes the reader on an emotional journey. Livies struggle to save her mamma is inspiring and full of hope. A tomboy to-the-extreme, Livie captured my heart as she desperately searched for and used The Healing Spell.Littles descriptions of the Louisiana bayou are realistic and vibrant. Even the books cover depicts the green and swampy setting where people get around in boats. Only in this setting would a pet alligator feel at home. Grab a box of tissues before you start

I have to admit, I didnt expect to like this book as much as I did. I stupidly thought it would just be a sweet middle grade book that I whipped through and would say, Aw, that was nice. I can be a dork like that. But honest to freaking greatness, I bawled at the end of this. I was so absorbed, and when that climactic moment came, I was sitting on the edge of my seat, reading as fast as I couldand yeah, I gasped and felt a tug in my chest. So, not your average middle grade book. And there werent

This is an incredible book! Though listed as a YA book, it is appealing and satisfying for any age, even me, a grandmother. Though the book is about an 11 year old girl, the emotions that she is dealing with ring true and speak to any age. One of the best things about the book is what it does not contain. There is no stock or stereotypical characters, no wicked stepsister types or absent or clueless adults which are so common in adolescent books. As a matter of fact there is no bad person,
