TEEN BOOK REVIEW: Spirit's Key by Edith Cohn





Amazon Summary:


By now, twelve-year-old Spirit Holden should have inherited the family gift: the ability to see the future. But when she holds a house key in her hand like her dad does to read its owner's destiny, she can't see anything. Maybe it's because she can't get over the loss of her beloved dog, Sky, who died mysteriously. 

Sky was Spirit's loyal companion, one of the wild dogs that the local islanders believe possess dangerous spirits. As more dogs start dying and people become sick, too, almost everyone is convinced that these dogs and their spirits are to blame--except for Spirit. 

Then Sky's ghost appears, and Spirit is shaken. But his help may be the key to unlocking her new power and finding the cause of the mysterious illness before it's too late. Spirit's Key is Edith Cohn's debut novel.

Book Review:


Spirit's Key by Edith Cohn is filled with mystery, passion, bravery and love. Spirit, the main character in the book, is a brave, caring and a understanding teenager who goes out of her way to find a way to discover the future that lies in keys. 

Spirit lives on a low populated island called Bald Island. The local towns people are afraid of Spirit's dog and what hides in its body: some people call it an evil spirit, as well locals think the same about the  "baldies" that  are  hidden in the woods. 

As the story enfolds, you will learn more about the history of Bald Island and what all the towns people are afraid of. The author does a great job with expressing all feelings in each character as well each" Baldie". 

One of my favorite parts of  the book is when Spirit rides down  a dirt road to the beach with Sky and a friend named Nector. She is riding her bike so fast she feels like she is flying. But Nector doesn't see Sky like Spirit does or see Sky at all. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a little romance, happiness and a thirst for mystery.  This book is about  Spirit's Past and everyone's Future and it all lies in the hands of Spirit!
