Son of a Trickster explores the turbulent life of Jared Martin, a 16-year-old in northern British Columbia who balances ordinary teen pursuits—selling pot cookies, smoking, spending time with friends—with the weight of family secrets and supernatural omens. When his beloved pit bull dies, Jared finds himself drawn into a world of talking ravens and whispered legends.
Rooted in Indigenous beliefs and rich family dynamics, Eden Robinson’s narrative blends gritty realism with flashes of magic. Jared navigates strained relationships—supporting his frail grandmother’s suspicions that he’s descended from a trickster spirit and helping his father’s new family—while wrestling with identity and belonging.
With sharp dialogue and vivid scenes, Son of a Trickster immerses readers in a coming-of-age journey laced with humor, heartache and the uncanny. Whether you’re drawn to cultural insights or supernatural suspense, this novel offers a fresh perspective on adolescence and heritage.
