The Bonemender- Holly Bennett

September 26th, 2007

If you love Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, meet Holly Bennett. It is very seldom that I make that kind of comparison, but I loved The Bonemender and her newest, The Warrior’s Daughter. I have yet to read the Bonemender sequels but am very much looking forward to them.

The Bonemender is the story of Gabrielle who is a healer and works for the royal family. Life is pretty much routine until two unusual strangers come into their midst, one dreadfully hurt by a boar. It soon becomes apparent that the strangers are Elves, whom Gabrielle’s people have not seen in many years. In spite of all the problems that might ensue, Gabrielle is drawn to one of the Elves. On top of that is news of a coming invasion where Gabrielle’s healing skills are going to be in high demand.

This is a challenging read but one I would recommend for young adults and adults alike.

    I Love Kids’ Books
    I have the privilege of being a teacher-librarian in 2 elementary schools. That means I have the best of all worlds; I teach and work with children from Kindergarten through grade 8; my job encompasses the management of the libraries as well as developing the collections. And my homework? Reading and more reading! What more could a life-long bookworm ask for? The point of this blog is mainly for my own use- to make myself some notes about some of the many books I read- to prompt my failing memory, to use as the basis for book-talks or newsletter inserts and to provide information for others that may be interested. These will not be formal or lengthy- but just some of my thoughts.
