Title: The Scent Keeper
Author: Erica Bauermeister
Reviewed by: Megan Conrady
The happiest memories of my childhood revolve around visiting my grandparents in the summer. My granddad did many things for me, but one of my favorites was taking me to Kennedy’s Drug Store to get vanilla cokes or a scoop of chocolate chip ice cream in a cup. If I close my eyes, I can still smell that drug store. Science actually tells us there is an intimate connection between scents, memories, and emotions. This fact sets up the premise for The Scent Keeper by Erica Bauermeister. A story of Emmeline, who we first meet as a young girl living with her father alone on a remote island off of the coast of Canada. I was captivated by this book from the first page.
The Scent Keeper is available as a hard copy in the library, as an ebook and audiobook on the Oklahoma Virtual Library, and as an ebook on the Hoopla Digital Library.
