This month we are reading Trickster Drift, the second book in a trilogy by Eden Robinson (we read the first book Son of a Trickster last year, remember that? Good times.)
In Trickster Drift, we catch up with Jared as he moves from Kitimat to Vancouver for school, where he finds he is still a magnet for magic.

Joining us in our discussion will be Jordan Wheeler, former Winnipeg Public Library’s Writer-in-Residence from 2018-2019. We are so happy to have Jordan at the table!
