Traitor's Son

"The juxtaposition of magic with science is fascinating" in the sequel to Trickster's Girl by the author of the Farsala Trilogy (School Library Journal).

In near-future North America, Kelsa—last seen in Trickster's Girl—has passed on the medicine pouch that contains the spiritual magic to save the earth from environmental destruction. Her pick to continue the quest is Jase, a native boy. But in fact, a family feud has cut Jase off from his traditional roots, and he is even more doubtful and resistant than Kelsa was. But the shapeshifting spirit Raven, now a beautiful girl, is quite persuasive and manages to convince Jase this is something not only that he can do, but that he must if he wants to heal his family and the earth.
