Publisher's Summary

Lonny is a lifeling. He has the power to heal any living creature and bring it back from the dead. But he pays a price for this gift - by lengthening the creature’s life, he shortens his own. So Lonny has to be careful, has to stay hidden in the forest. Because if people knew what he could do, Lonny would be left with no life at all....

A brilliant story from the author of The Middler about family, secrets and a terrible power.

Better to read than listen.

Great story overall but the constant sound effects that the narrator tries to pull off borderline the unbearable. I understand that these effects are written into the chapters but it is a painful experience and does not add anything positive. If you value your hearing, I recommend reading the physical title, rather than listen to this.
