Son of a Trickster by Eden Robinson
3.0
This coming-of-age story was an interesting whirlwind of a story. I really liked the main character Jared and felt so much sympathy for him at different points of the story. He is such a good kid but dealt a really crappy hand when it comes to parents. Despite the obstacles that crop up again and again, he is resilient. Jared finds solace with his neighbour Mrs. Jax and her wisdom and makes each of his relationships work although he is often the one person putting in the most effort.
The book also explores indigenous culture and themes through the character of the Trickster who visits Jared in the late half of the book. The magic was a bit strange as was Jared's encounter with the otters. This book is the first in a trilogy so I am looking forward to seeing where and how Jared develops. He is an easy character to root for as he is so likable.
