The Spirit Walker is an amazing story full of adventure that takes place about 6,000 years ago in the Forest, by the Sea and in the Deep Woods. Torak has noticed a sickness going around in the Raven Clan. When he sees Oslak skratching his blisters he goes to tell Finn-Kedinn. A few days later Oslak dies by the sickness. When Renn, a red haired girl who loves to hunt, and the rest of the clan go to bury Oslak, Torak runs away to find a cure. Wolf has been with his new wolf pack for over a year. Now he decides to try to find Torak.

When Torak is far from the Raven camp he feels like something is following him. A few days later he meet's the Forest people. He asks them if the have any idea of what is following him. They tell him that it's a Tokoroth and that what he is looking for is in the west by the sea. When they leave he finds his way to the sea. Renn notices that Torak is gone and goes to find him. On the way Wolf finds her and they go together to find Torak. He reaches the sea and sees some boys. They are from the Seal clan. Torak tries to hide but they find him. The boys say that he has done a crime for mixing the Sea with the Forest and bring Torak to the camp on the Seal Islands. When the 3 boys and Torak reach the camp, the leader decides to punish him. Renn and Wolf have made it over the Sea and hide in the little forest on the island. The Mage takes Torak off the Rock. Torak starts training to find the cure to the sickness. When the boys and Torak reach the Heights they climb to find the root.

Torak has the root when he suddenly slips of the rocks. The Mage pulls him out of the Sea and he brings him to the camp. Meanwhile one of the boys find Renn and lock her up in a cove. She tries to stop Torak from going up to the mountain but he doesn't listen to her. When Torak is half way up the mountain the Mage trippes Torak and gets unconscious. The Tokoroth's carry him up to the top where he wakes up. The Mage has found out that Torak is a Spirit Walker and wants to take the powers from him by taking some of his blood. The Mage ties Torak up and tells him that he is a Soul Eater and that he made the sickness. Renn is on a boat and sees The Mage and Torak. She takes a shot with her boat and it hits the Mage and he falls into the Sea and dies. A few days later Torak is back at the Raven camp and the sickness is going away. Kinn-Fedinn asks Torak to come with him to talk. He describes why the Mage tricked him and tells Torak that his father had been a Soul Eater but when times got rough he wanted to go and the other Soul Eaters did not let him. Wolf is happy but doesn't get too close to the dogs in the camp. Renn is back at the camp and back into the Mages craft and is happy with it.

**Evaluation**

I love this book because it has adventure and suspense like when Torak tries to find a cure you think he will find it and when the Mage brings him to the mountain you don't know what he will do to Torak after he made him unconscious. I also like the book because there are a lot of details in it like it tells exactly how each character looks like and where the setting is and how it looks like there. I recommend this book to grades 4-7.
