Explanation Concering Books Ada: Legend of a Healer

No sickness, No injuries, No pain, No limits.

If you had the power to heal, what would you do?

For fifteen-year-old Ada discovering that she can heal feels more like a curse than a gift. When she learns of the mystery surrounding her mother's disappearance, and sees the indifference of so-called friends, she sets out for Paris to find her.

The power to heal protects her, but also has her hunted by a man who sees her as nothing more than his fountain of youth. Ada realizes her true power is her will to survive, and that her only chance at freedom is to become the best at escaping.

Ada hasn't grown up in a house with a white picket fence. Instead she was cast off and absorbed into the foster care system, quickly putting up a shield of hostility. Always knowledgeable of the sicknesses of those around her and never getting hurt just seemed like facts of life. Finally on her last strike of trouble, an estranged aunt comes to the rescue, giving Ada the knowledge of how to use her healing power. Now Ada, who up to this point has shunned the world, all of the sudden has the power to heal it.

This book delves into the psychology and growth of a teenage girl coming to grips with the knowledge that there are some good people out there; some people worth healing.

Along with action and adventure, Ada, Legend of a Healer also brings to light numerous philosophical issues. Like many middle and high school girls, Ada is introduced to society's harsh realities at a young age, so she's built a wall of anger to strengthen her self reliance, to survive. Despite the pressure and demands, Ada refuses to sacrifice her self-worth, and in this she discovers that a strong will overcomes all obstacles.

Comment On About Books Ada: Legend of a Healer

This book was defiantly a great book for me. I was always on the edge of my seat literally not wanting to stop reading. I just wanted to get to the end of the book where everything was unfolded. This book drew me in every time, and I think that is why I loved it so much. It was very suspenseful and not scary just I was eager to read the next line. It was very adventurous and event packed, there wasn't many boring spots in the book. I think this book suits me because I like exciting books and

Heroic Healer's Engaging StoryThere's a lot to love in this fast-paced novel about a young teenage girl whose healing abilities provide her with both tremendous opportunities and challenges, as she embarks on a quest to track down her mother. Ada's journey has a sense of urgency to it, as she breaks free from her aunt's care to take off from Canada to France, keeping a low profile so as to not attract attention of those who seek to harness Ada's healing powers greedily for their own. While much

Instantly you get the sense that Ada hasn't had a lot of love or caring relationships in her short life. Her attitude and personality is rough, hard, and flippant, but in the first few pages - the very first chapter to be exact - we see that in her there is a part that is compassionate.

The compassionate thing she does in chapter one and what she

Ada is 15 and at the Between house after getting kicked out of another foster home, like her history of being kicked out of schools or upsetting her foster parents. She has 3 days for her Aunt Jessie to contact them before her social worker will have to send her to juvenile. Ada can tell by felling or smelling there is something wrong with someone. But they don't like hearing it when Ada asks or suggests health issues, hence part of her troubles with foster homes. The others are just not nice

The story itself is unique...not in the choice of characters (teen girl with powers and issues struggling to find her place in the world....certainly familiar) but in what the author does with them. Ada is no wall flower. She may prefer to stay out of the limelight because of her abilities, but she is not afraid to stand up for herself, and at times leads to some pretty funny moments. Back to those abilities...Seeing sickness and injury is only the beginning for as the title implies, she can
