Night Calls by Katharine Eliska Kimbriel

4.0

A well-written YA fantasy told by Allie, a precocious teenager learning to handle her newly awakened Gift. I think this was once two short stories combined into a novel, but that is hardly noticeable as the character development continues throughout the book. Allie takes a lot of things in stride (like of course my mother taught me the magic words to say if you find a trapped spirit, didn't yours), and so it helped to remember that she was 12 and didn't question a lot of these things like I might. The setting was perfect - an alternate colonial America, where people owned land and not much else, and a 10-day ride was a serious distance away.
