Tribal Lores by Archimede Fusillo
4.0
3.5 stars*
Was sent a free review copy by @walkerbooks and @ausyabloggers in exchange for an honest review. In no particular way does this influence my opinion.
This story follows Frankie, who comes from an Italian family, and Lochie, who comes from an Australian family through Frankie’s point of view. Both families have very different value and customs. While Frankie and Lochie often irritated me, I realise it was because they were realistic. I have met both personalities in real life and both characters reflected with flaws and all.
While the pace and plot at sometimes were slow, the author was able to bring in the discussion of many topics. Mainly as the title suggest is ‘tribes,’ cultures. Readers are given an insight on the clashes of opposing cultures, and how Frankie grapples with it all. I also enjoy how the book was very friendship focus and it follows a unique dynamic I fell like there should be more of in YA. I don’t think I’ve read much about solely on male friendships and this book fills in that hole.
I highly recommend this if you are looking for a character driven story that guides readers through a great story about family and friends.
