You are invited to New Mexico's Award-Winning Author Kimberley Griffiths Little's "Bayou Book Party", at Alamosa Books in Albuquerque. There will be gumbo, Cajun cakes, music, door prizes and a book talk, PLUS Kimberley will be autographing copies of The Healing Spell, published by Scholastic Press.
Everyone is invited! Tell the teachers and librarians in your life, as well as your kids!
This highly praised novel follows Livie, an almost 12-year-old girl as she deals with the tragedy that has left her mother in a coma as well as her own guilt as she tries to save her mamma before it's too late. Set in the rich Cajun bayou culture, Kimberley has woven a tale of magic, faith, and the healing that comes from finding oneself.
Here's what the critics have to say about The Healing Spell:
"A special offering for readers seeking a challenge of the heart as well as the mind." - "An interesting story with likable characters and a lot of heart" - Kirkus
"The fully realized sense of place adds dimensionality and atmosphere . . . intriguing." - Bulletin for the Center for Children's Books
"An incantational tale of Cajun magic" - Richard Peck, Newbery Medalist
