The Scent Keeper
by Erica Bauermeister is the story of Emmeline, a young girl who lives with her
father on an isolated island. She listens to her father’s stories especially
the ones about Jack the Scent Hunter and she’s curious about the mysterious
bottles with blank pieces of paper in them that her father stores in drawers. When
her life on the island abruptly ends, she must adjust to life in a small town
and struggles with who she really is as the information her father gave her
seemed to be far from the truth. She slowly learns her father’s true story and
leads her on a journey to discover who she is and the mother she thought she
didn’t have. Will Emmeline be able to handle the truth? Will she be able to
tell who is telling her the truth and who is still hiding behind lies?
From the opening lines, The
Scent Keeper pull you in and doesn’t let you go until the final page. I was
instant engrossed in Emmeline’s story with the beautiful imagery of their
island, the stories her father told and the mystery behind who he was and the
reason they lived on the island. At the end, I was speechless and in awe at
this beautiful story. There were a few moments that I gasped with realization
and tears filled my eyes at the pain and truth that Emmeline discovers. It is a
gripping story from beginning to end. I didn’t notice the length as I read page
after page until I finished it in a several hours. It is a story you will not
want to put down! I highly recommend The
Scent Keeper!
