Narrative In Favor Of 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.

ADS Legend of a HealerI looked into this story and it isn't my mind of story. I don't know why I picked this book to begin with.Ada is a well written, but in my humble opinion not very believable Y.A. novel. Based on the cover, it looks like something I'd never read. Even my daughter asked me why I was reading that Goth book. I don't care for the art work either.However, it is not Goth, nor is it about vampires, which is what my other daughter thought when I suggested she read it. It has an intriguing premise: a young girl with the ability to heal. Not only can she heal, but she can heal anything from cancer to life
I really enjoyed Ada by R.A. McDonald. I even stayed up late to finish reading ita fairly rare occurrence. So Im glad I persevered beyond the longer title to read the story. Legend of a Healer sounded oddly pretentious to me; I wasnt sure I wanted to read some new teen-world-view legend. But Adas story isnt pretentious at all. Its hard-hitting, gritty, built on teen anger rather than angst, with deep questions and fascinating characters. Plus its a really intriguing tale.Adas anger at life is
I'm going to be honest, I really am not a fan of this cover. I know it's wrong to judge a book by it's cover but I was still hesitant in reading this because of it. I'm so happy I got past my own first judgments because I really enjoyed this book. Within the book were also other drawings that fit scenes, which was different and interesting, but I still think I'd prefer a different cover. The book definitely needs some editing (a tad irksome but that might be because I'm an anal English major)

Its an odd match, but Ada is thankful for the escape from the foster
Ada Legend of a Healer had a bad start, but ended up turning into a rather good read.Ada is an orphan with an attitude problem. After getting kicked out of yet another foster home she cant be placed anywhere else, so she leaves the system, embarking on her own journey to find her mother. Her journey leads her to France and the people she meets there help her hone not only her healing skills but develop skills in the art of parkour.Ada was not a likeable character for most of the story. Her only
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
