Criticize Based On Books Wise Child (Doran #1)

I read Wise Child 15 years ago and loved it so much that I introduced it to our students and staff at our wilderness school, Hawk Circle. The Wise Child books have now become a must read for just about every one that comes through our programs. I especially love Juniper and her incredibly wise way of teaching and mentoring. The story of Wise Child and Juniper has become so potent at our place that I've started a Juniper Retreat where I will be teaching many of the herbal and healing skills that

Wise Child is the first in a young adult trilogy set in ancient Scotland. The Wise Child of the title does not bear that nickname out of respect at first; its a sarcastic term for a child who thinks they know more than others. Shes spoiled and lazy. In the care of her grandmother because her father is at sea and her mother has run away to greener pastures, she finds herself out of a home when the old woman dies. When the nine year old is auctioned, she finds herself taken in by Juniper, an

I love this book. I first read it when I was in 7th grade and my paradigm was being shaped. It was a soft as new cement at the moment. This book reminds me of Boulder Coaster by Acoustic Alchemy. it brings back memories of nicking chamomile tea from my grandmother's cabinet, drinking it and thinking about life and such.In this book, Wise Child finds herself living with the compassionate Juniper who treats the ailments of people in a Scottish village even though they look at her with suspicion

This book was recommended to me by one of my young friends. She said it was one of her favourites. I think if I had read it when I was younger first, I would have put it at the top of my list too. I probably would have dreamed of having a life like Wise Child.It's a lovely coming-of-age story. A slower, softer kind of fantasy that explores how a young girl, over time, learns about witchcraft. I like the authenticity of Wise Child's struggles. She doesn't like the hard work, but slowly begins to

Wise Child is abandoned by her parents and the only person in the village who offers to take her in is Juniper, the strange woman who everyone says is a witch because she isn't married, doesn't go to Mass, and heals the sick.There is beautiful imagery in this book, which is why I've always liked it; the descriptions of the colors and plants and other items are wonderful. The character of Juniper seems a little too perfect, but Wise Child balances that out with her childhood stupidity. I always

There is no book more central to my development as a human being than this one. I can't possibly review it critically. Some good points include a lovely style of guardian/parenting and a true acceptance/tolerance of other faiths. I also appreciate that the herb references are accurate, but that's probably because I'm a little nutty.

One of my favorites fantasy books ever, hands down.
