This is a wonderful book, brilliant in so many ways. It is very funny, with many memorable characters like the old grandmother who feeds everyone or the very cool aunt. It is complex in its portrayal of the relationship between indigenous and non-indigenous people. It sees the world through the eyes of a 13 year old boy and reveals nothing to the reader beyond his perception and perspective. It subtly contrasts religion and indigenous spirituality. Friends and family are supportive and solid to one another in a culture from which so much can be learned. Storytelling at its very best.
