Evangeline of the Bayou
Evangeline of the Bayou | Jan Eldredge
3 posts | 4 read | 9 to read
A standout middle grade adventure with a sassy, memorable heroine and a charming Southern feel, perfect for fans of Kate DiCamillo and Natalie Lloyd. Twelve-year-old haunt huntress apprentice Evangeline Clement spends her days and nights studying the ways of folk magic, honing her monster-hunting skills while pursuing local bayou banshees and Johnny revenants. With her animal familiar sure to make itself known any day now, the only thing left to do is prove to the council she has heart. Then she will finally be declared a true haunt huntress, worthy of following in the footsteps of her long line of female ancestors. But when Evangeline and her grandmother are called to New Orleans to resolve an unusual case, she uncovers a secret that will shake her to the soles of her silver-tipped alligator-skin boots. Set in the evocative Louisiana bayou and the vibrant streets of New Orleans, Evangelines is a tale of loyalty and determination, the powerful bonds of friendship and family, and the courage to trust your gut no matter how terrifying that might be.

Well, I did expect more of this... But maybe my hope were to high after reading VE Schwab and Winterhouse. In Eldredge's book are just too many scenes that don't make sense to me. One I did not find suitable for a children's book, and she goes way to easy on the Good-Evil-Parts. Also, the characters aren't well drawn. At least I did not like a single one of them. Only Fader was cool enough. I still rate it a So-So, because there were some ⬇

Jari-chan good and enjoyable moments in the story. And, of course, Fader. But if there's going to be another book about Evangeline, I don't think I'm going to read it. We just didn't get along...
