Review
A blend of adventure and fantasy "Guile" is truly unique. Thought the presence of guile in the swamp water cannot be seen on an object by anyone other than a Pearly (much like a fortune teller), it can change situations and alter lives. Our heroines are Yonie and her taking cat LaRue who scrape a living together by helping others eliminate guile from their possessions. There are lots of adventurous plot turns, a budding romance and several surprising characters.
The storyline is fun but the plot seems to drag at times. Certainly not intended, readers can get lost during the exploration of the bayous. Give this book by Cooper to teens who love magic and fantasy.
Overall Book Score: good
