The Gift Moves (Golden Kite Honors) ReviewSteve Lyon's first novel, THE GIFT MOVES is an intriguing tale of a young teenage girl called Path Down The Mountain, also known as Path. I enjoy how the setting is in the future, and yet the conflict does not evolve around the fact, it is just there. In addition, I enjoy how the conflict is concealed to me at first, and how it is subtle, and yet is full of meaning and lessons - if one looks closely enough. I rated this book four stars. The characters are not too many, and not too complicated, and all tie in at the end. In addition, the setting is interesting, but most of all, I enjoy how each chapter is in first person, and yet every other is switching from Path to Bird (his real name is Bird Speaks - he is the same age and tries to befriend the new Hand). I enjoy being fed each detail ever so slowly, and not knowing more than the character did. That is why I rated THE GIFT MOVES four stars.
Even though the story does not directly state that it is in the future, due to various details, one can make this assumption. Path is originally from Boon, that is where there are sheep, and they sleep in tents. However, when she becomes a Hand, she moves away for five years, through Rollydee (a huge city) and off Dare Harbor, to an island called The Banks. On the island is a small town, where everyone knows each other. In there, is the Weavers Yard, (where she stays with an older hand) which is near to the beach, and next to the bakery, where Bird lives with his mother and his older sister.
Of all the people that you meet throughout the novel, four of them stand out the most. Path - the new Hand of Heron. Bird, the boy who lives and works at the bakery next door to the weaver's yard and who tries to befriend and help Path. Aster, the older Hand to Heron, and Heron, the supreme weaver, known all over the place. Heron is not kind, but works the girls hard and long. Whenever Path sneaks out at night, she beats her with her staff. Bird pursued a friendship with Path, who is quiet about herself, and Aster, who knows what happens if Heron under the beatings of Heron's cane...
At first, I could not tell what the conflict was. I was confused; would there be a huge natural disaster or a death? Then I realized that it was cleverer than that. As Bird wants to know more about Path, she is reluctant to look into her past and reveille what had been burdening her for years. Her mother had not been from boon, she was from Rollydee, the city, and was a dancer. After Path was born, she stayed with her father in boon, but soon wanted to dance again, and so she took Path with her and they moved back to the city. There path had met many wonderful people - and enjoyed the experience. She would go with her mother on trips, and would watch her perform on stage. However, once, when her mother had jumped extremely high, she yelled "mama!" out to her because she was so proud. But that only made the dancer fall. After that she left her behind, but Path would always escape and visit some friends. Eventually, the mother brought her back to Boon on midsummer's day, and at the huge bonfire, gave the daughter back to her father. She abandoned her. The last thing that path had of her was the sun and moon pendent, and after her mom left her, she never saw her again. At the bonfires on midsummer's day, everyone throws all of their stuff in there (the weavers threw in all the cloth, the bakers threw in all of their bread...) however, before becoming a Hand, Path had always avoided this. She was afraid, and did not want to throw away nor cleanse herself of the one thing she had of her mother... the sun and moon pendent.
I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a conflict that is both emotion, as well as mental, and for all ages too. Although it is directed for the teenagers, I am sure that anyone would enjoy this meaningful story. As I stated before, I give this book four stars because of its superb writing and clever conflict. Also for its creative characters and an interesting plot. I enjoyed the many details about their cultural and decrypted feelings and emotions of both Path and Bird. I enjoy how the plot evolves around the characters emotions and secrets, not the fact that it is in the future, as so many other books do.The Gift Moves (Golden Kite Honors) Overview
