I dunno, just kind of fell off at the end for me, a little unbelievable ( ) I love Linda Sue Park's historical fiction, but I just can't get into her fantasy novels. I think kids would probably enjoy this book, but I can't get past the writing. Something's off for me. Maybe it's too simplistic. The character's don't feel authentic. I like to feel like I'm in the book and it requires good writing to do that. The book is about a family of apothecaries who make potions to heal people and animals. Raffa and his cousin Garith are always competing to be the better apprentice. Garith gets his chance to shine when his father accepts a position as Chief Apothecary in the city. Raffa's father thinks they can do more good in the small village where they live. When Raffa finds an elusive red vine with special healing properties in the woods, he's amazed to realize that it has the capability of making animals talk. The first animal he heals is a bat that becomes his pet, but he learns that if it isn't used properly it can have dangerous effects, so he sets off for the city to warn Garith. When Raffa meets up with his uncle and cousin, he gets the opportunity to exhibit his apothecary talents for the Chancellor. Once he realizes that the animals are being used as a defense weapon, he decides that he can't use his talents to mistreat animals. It's going to be up to him and his new friends to intervene for the animals. A decent book for kids who like animal fantasy. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

When an injured bat crashes into his life, Raffa invents a cure from a rare crimson vine that he finds deep in the Forest. His remedy saves the animal but also transforms it into something much more than an ordinary bat, with far-reaching consequences. Raffa's experiments lead him away from home to the forbidding city of Gilden, where troubling discoveries make him question whether exciting botanical inventionsâ??including his ownâ??might actually threaten the very creatures of the Forest he wants to protect. The first book in an enchanting trilogy, Forest of Wonders richly explores the links between magic and botany, family and duty, environment and h Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
