Poet, book reviewer, and National Public Radio essayist Peter Walpole's first book touches the hearts of young and old. Easy enough to read for most pre-teens, yet tight and engaging enough for the more mature, The Healer of Harrow Point is a value-teaching book of real merit. Like Old Yeller or The Education of Little Tree, it's a classic coming-of-age tale that presents freshman-level metaphysical concepts such as intention, immortality, and "the oneness of all beings" in a down-to-earth, understandable fashion. Parents who hope to warn their teenager about the danger of firearms or the negative effects of seeking peer-group approval will find this an excellent choice. But be warned: anyone who picks up The Healer of Harrow Point will find that it's impossible to put down. If a movie studio hasn't purchased the movie rights yet, they should--Healer has an action- and emotion-packed plot that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. --P. Randall Cohan
