The Trickster by Dorothy A. Winsor
2.0

The Trickster by Dorothy A Winsor is a propelling young adult fantasy about family ties and companionship.
-
In a fictional place called Rinland, the city inhabitants of Lac's Holding are revelling in a three-day winter festival, heralding the coming of a new year. This forms the perfect cover for a group of island leaders, who intend to overthrow the local nobility. Mixed up in all this is Dilly, a once homeless pickpocket who now serves under the lady Elenia and Fitch, an island smuggler with special healing powers. The two forge an unlikely alliance in an effort to thwart the leaders' treasonous plans.

The Trickster has a youthful, unbridled energy and popular YA troupes that would appeal to younger audiences. The rapid progression of the plot and almost sprint finish felt too rushed for my tastes, leaving much to supposition but it was entertaining.
