This book was recommended by a good friend so when I finally got it after searching for it in all the bookshops around, I couldn't wait to start reading. It didn't disappoint. It was truly spellbinding. Livie reminded me so much of myself when I was her age - my fears, my anxiety, my closeness to my father and differences that I had with my mother and that I had to work on...and still working on even now that I am an adult. It also reminded me of the time when my mother was taken to the hospitalThis book was the first book I read during the summer and is good for all ages to middle school-adult. It makes you feel as if you are there with Livie as she goes through her mommas coma. Its a sad, but adventurous book and has a wonderful ending. Highly recommend
I loved this book! It was a great read. I could totally relate to the characters. All of them seemed very well drawn, unigue, believable and had great depth and development. My heart ached for Livie and triumphed in her courage. The setting was very well done. It was an entity of its own and added to the richness of the story. I recommend it to young adults and adults who like YA. It definitely deserved the Whitney Awardand it will probably make my top 10 reads of 2011.P.S. I'm not from the

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
THE HEALING SPELL, by Kimberley Griffiths Little, is a story about hope and healing, with a mystery at its core that pulls readers in from the first chapter and doesn't let go.Eleven-year-old Livie has a secret. Her mother lies in a coma on a hospital bed in the family's living room; Livie's father has taken a leave of absence from work to care for her mother, convinced that home is where she belongs. "She'll get better here," he tells a nurse. But as her father, an aunt, and two of Livie's
I loved the story of Livie's process of discovering herself and recognizing faith. However, I have little patience with stories that revolve around lack of communication and this story has plenty of that. So many problems can be avoided if we/families/people etc. learned to communicate better. I realize the secrecy/lack of communication thing is what the whole story evolves from but i got so exasperated reading about it, i just wanted someone to force this family to actually talk!
