What a refreshing book!

I like the flow of the story where we read from the different points of Koemi, Harata, and Eleanor. Here are three girls with powers to help people and who knows? Maybe even humanity itself.

We meet Koemi who uses her healing power of laughter to break people's sprits before they do something rash. Harata can embody a person's thoughts (even animals) and suggest them to act based on her decisions. And Eleanor (my favourite) can detect people's auras, and even change their mood. She can also heal almost anything.

Lesson of the story? Young people no matter what their race is, no matter where they live, no matter what they believe in can change the world with Love. Say what? It may sound corny but once you peel all the layers of this story it's good natured, and chock full of adventure. Don't we all need a little bit more hope? The Healers are the embodiment of all things good.

The author writes with beautiful detail especially when a healer foils one of the Corrupter's plans. The evil villain Venceslao gave me chills as to how creepy and scary he was! It kind if reminded me of every horror movie that mentions Satan. The message is quite clear though. If there's nothing to fear, there's nothing else left but love.

I enjoyed reading this novel and I'm pretty sure fans of Captain Planet will too! Yes I used to watch Captain Planet.."He's our hero..."
