Giada is training to become a healer of people. The only problem is, she would rather heal animals. This story starts quickly as we learn of Giada's "failings", which I have a feeling, will turn into huge advantages. The author's descriptions of the town and school, as well as Giada, draw you into the story immediately. I can't wait to read the rest of this, and I feel my granddaughter would love it too.
