Ilustration Supposing 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.
I was asked, "why the questions at the back of the book?"
My answer: Because Girls Like to Think.

3.5Ada Legend of a Healer is a compelling, interesting, and well-paced story that follows a 15 year old girl and her struggle with a power she never realized she possessed. Ada is young and jaded and it shows. She doesnt trust people easily, including Jessie, the closest thing to family she has ever had. Her back and forth feelings regarding Jessie are a bit annoying, but easy to understand. Once Ada begins to accept her gift more, she really grows and her morals develop a great deal.The storyI'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)
When I first saw this book, the cover fascinated me. I loved the mysteriousness of it and the title itself made me want to learn more about it. Then I received it.Once I picked this book up, I had a very hard time putting it down. I read it very quickly as I had no choice but to keep reading. I had to know what Ada would do next & where her adventure would take her. Ada is a product of the Foster system. She is not happy with her Foster parents. She knows that she is not exactly right but
Originally posted on my blog, Denim-Jacket Librarian DishesWho wouldn't want to rid themselves of any and all sickness or heal any injury the moment after it happens? To be free from such pitfalls as getting winded while running or healing muscles to help them grow stronger. It would sound like a good deal to most people. But for those with such abilities, like Ada, it is as much the dark side of the coin as it is the light especially when others want that skill for themselves alone. No one
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 was a great scifi book that keep my attention from start until finish. The pace and whit of the authors writing makes this read hard to put down. Although this strayed away from my normal scifi reading the venture off the beaten path was a refreshing one.
Ada is a very troubled young girl with a gift even she doesn't realize she has until her mother's friend fills her in. Ada has always been able to see other people's illnesses and maladies but didn't know that her touch could heal them. I'm not sure how you could make it 15 years before realizing that your touch heals people, but as I got the impression that none of her homes are particularly loving I suppose that she wasn't touching many people.I felt that McDonald got into the mind of a
