Soul Eater book review

I finished reading this book aloud to Aidan this morning. 

Here's Aidan's book review. 

Paver, Michelle, Soul Eater. London: Orion Children's Books, 2006.

Soul Eater is a book about finding a dog that Torak calls, “Wolf.” It turns out to be a journey that saves the world.

My favourite part of this book was when Wolf was the last animal coming out of the gap in the cave entrance.

The funniest part was when Torak and Renn rescued the wolverine, it snarled at them and Wolf came up and the wolverine left.

I hope that Renn’s bow will be destroyed ... this would be an example of parting with something great, for instance, Fa.

I think there should be an Exodus-type book about the past of this series and the characters. Included in this book would be stories about Fa and it would start off long, long ago when the Soul Eaters were healers. We would find out what joke Torak told Fa at the beginning of Wolf Brother, and this would be the ending: “Torak woke with a jolt from a sleep he’d never meant to have,” (the first line from Chapter 1 of Wolf Brother).

In a book about the origins of the Soul Eaters, there would be one new named Soul Eater - the one who burned in the fire - and they would all be Healers. Around the fifth chapter, the Healers would become Soul Eaters. One main character would actually be Fa. There could also be a history of Renn and Wolf. Wolf’s story would start off with his mother pregnant, and end with a duck bone in his throat. Renn’s story would start off with her father preparing to leave for the Far North and would end with, “Let him go!” the stranger said. This was the scene where Torak wanted Wolf to be released from Oslak.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes Spirit Walker, or anyone who is interested in animals.

Aidan's reference to an "Exodus-type" book is based on the book, Transformers Exodus, 

in which Transformer origins are explained and some history is described. Michelle Paver's book series has greatly inspired Aidan's imagination. He often makes predictions or expresses desires for what could happen next. He also likes to ponder the author's motivations for story lines and events. And during this third book, he has been thinking back to events from earlier stories, wishing to have more details revealed and explained.
