The Young Healer by Frank N. McMillan III

7/10

I like the originality of the plot.  Going on a quest is a lost right of passage.  There are a lot of metaphors and similes and other figurative writer's craft in this chapter book.  It is keeping with the apprentice/mentor theme of the other 3 Mark Twain's read previously.  It is about the Native American Culture and spirituality.  The entire events of the book take place in one day's time.  Many creative characters are introduced and descriptions are taken to the next level in this book.

You decide, do you think this is realistic fiction, historical fiction, or science fiction.  It crosses a few of these lines, defend your choice.
