The Healing Spel by Kimberley Little



Little, Kimberley Griffiths The Healing Spell, 354. Scholastic press, 2010. Language- G (1 swear, 0 “f”) Sexual Content- G; Violence-PG; With her mother in a coma, eleven-year-old Livie feels she is responsible for the accident. To relieve her guilt, she travels deep into the bayou and receives a spell to help her mother wake up – but something else is needed to cure her feelings and broken family. I thought this book was very heartwarming and funny, but sad and a little tragic at the same time. I enjoyed the the whole book through way up to the ending, and I learned a very valuable lesson from it. EL-MS – ESSENTIAL. A.W.
