Relation During Books Son of a Trickster (Trickster #1)

With striking originality and precision, Eden Robinson, the Giller-shortlisted author of the classic Monkey Beach and winner of the Writers Trust Engel/Findley Award, blends humour with heartbreak in this compelling coming-of-age novel. Everyday teen existence meets indigenous beliefs, crazy family dynamics, and cannibalistic river otter . . . The exciting first novel in her trickster trilogy.

Everyone knows a guy like Jared: the burnout kid in high school who sells weed cookies and has a scary mom who's often wasted and wielding some kind of weapon. Jared does smoke and drink too much, and he does make the best cookies in town, and his mom is a mess, but he's also a kid who has an immense capacity for compassion and an impulse to watch over people more than twice his age, and he can't rely on anyone for consistent love and support, except for his flatulent pit bull, Baby Killer (he calls her Baby)--and now she's dead.

Jared can't count on his mom to stay sober and stick around to take care of him. He can't rely on his dad to pay the bills and support his new wife and step-daughter. Jared is only sixteen but feels like he is the one who must stabilize his family's life, even look out for his elderly neighbours. But he struggles to keep everything afloat...and sometimes he blacks out. And he puzzles over why his maternal grandmother has never liked him, why she says he's the son of a trickster, that he isn't human. Mind you, ravens speak to him--even when he's not stoned.

You think you know Jared, but you don't.

Criticize Appertaining To Books Son of a Trickster (Trickster #1)

It's a too long YA origin story that hopefully sets up a better sequel. I guess I was just frustrated waiting. I get it - Jared's a little messed up, but golden hearted and maybe a little in love. His family has secrets and there's trouble afoot. I didn't need an entire book to tell me that. There's undoubtably something simmering under the surface, threatening to break Jared Martin out of his high school reverie of baking pot cookies, getting drunk, stoned and screwed. Something more than the

This book was all over the place. Lots of inconsistencies in grammar that were confusing. Ex. Guy releases his two dogs, then the story said he followed his dog to see the action. I had to go back a couple of times to make sure he had two dogs to start with. Things like that drive me crazy - it completely takes me out of the story. Characters were described without using their names and then referred to by just their names, which was confusing. Characters appeared out of nowhere with no past

"Eden Robinson is a masterful storyteller. Shimmering with deft prose, unforgettable characters, and haunting truths, SON OF A TRICKSTER reminds us that sometimes the shortest way to solid ground is through believing in magic." - Quote by Ami McKay, author of The Birth House, The Virgin Cure and The Witches of New YorkThis is the first book of the five novels shortlisted for CANADA READS 2020 that I have read. I had a slow start and did not like all the swearing and use of the "c"word at the

Second review: March 8, 2019I picked up Trickster Drift when it came out, but I knew I wanted to re-read Son of a Trickster to refresh my memory before I started the sequel. Im really glad I did. It has given more an extended visit to Jareds world, and what an interesting world this is.I really love this book, and re-reading it has only increased my appreciation for its depth and the skill of Robinsons writing. My earlier review goes into more detail, and my experience this time around

Great read, Jared is a very believable character with whom you can easily empathize. I would have given this five stars but I struggled with the supernatural aspect.



3.5 to 4ish stars.I've never read anything by Eden Robinson before, so this was a pleasant surprise. Jared, the main character, lives with his mother. His parents have split up, and his father, a recovering drug addict, has a new family. Jared's mother is scary, and has hurt various boyfriends for threatening or hurting Jared. Jared's mother also has anger issues.Jared is sixteen years old and a good guy. Jared is struggling in school, and spends much of his time drinking or doing drugs, making
