Lonny is a lifeling. He has the power to heal any living creature and bring it back from the dead. But he pays a price for this gift - by lengthening the creature's life, he shortens his own. So Lonny has to be careful, has to stay hidden in the forest. Because if people knew what he could do, Lonny would be left with no life at all... A brilliant novel from the author of The Middler about family, secrets and a terrible power. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

One day, Lonnie's father is upset with the boys and is overcome with some past grief about his wife's death that he neglects the boys and they accept a lift into town to work with Jess a neighbour. This sets off a chain of events as Jess's daughter is very ill and as they boys befriend her two daughters Katy and Erin, they learn about the lengths people will go to to save the people they love.
Nice story with lots of folklore and fairy stories interwoven in it and shows how different narratives of the same story can occur and lead to different endings. Suitable for Primary as well as secondary students. ( )
