I think that this book is absolutely amazing! There is a lot of suspense that leads you to keep reading and reading.The story is about an eleven year old girl named Livie. Her mother is put into a coma and she believes through out the story that she is the one who caused her mother's sleeping sickness. Livie goes through so much trying to help heal her mother.But nothing is working so she makes a very courageous decision.I haven't read a book this good in a while.So if you are thinking about reading it, I would definitely recommend reading it. {My Thoughts} – This book was absolutely amazing. I highly enjoyed reading it. Livie is such a sweet eleven year-old little girl. She is a tomboy by all accounts, and she is truly just trying to find her place in the world. She has a deeper connection with her daddy then with her mama, but it doesn’t change who she is as a person on the inside.Throughout the book she struggles with understanding why her mama is in a coma. She doesn’t understand why she won’t just wake up, why things are how they are and why everyone in her family seems to be so angry with her all the time. She would rather be out in her little boat or doing something outside then being in the house and being the girlie girl that most would prefer her to be. When truth be told, she is perfectly written. I can see many little girls relating themselves to this little girl. Although she isn’t really all that little, being she’s almost two tears older then my own daughter.I think that all little girls could find something to like about this book, the characters and the fact that life isn’t always fair. I love how it is based on religion and healing spells, but mostly faith. It is amazing what faith in a stronger power can accomplish. Every little girl should have this book and the remaining ones that go along with this book. It is a wonderful series. They can be read alone or together, but together they build an amazing story with friends, family and the undeniable truth of what it’s like to grow up in the Bayou.
