Wabi: A Hero's Tale by Joseph Bruchac
5.0
There was a lot more action than I expected. I thought this would be a cute little romance but no. Between Wabi's sarcasm and the action, I'd read this book again. My favorite character, despite him only having a brief appearance, is the skunk. So sassy.
I will say that some of the words feel like they're made up to seem like native American words. I looked them up when I came across them, because I get curious, and couldn't find them anywhere. The only one I could find was the Toad Woman and that was a book. I also looked up the author and found he's got some Abenaki blood which is where the story ideas come from. So, I'm assuming the words are based on the dialect of the Abenaki tribe, specifically.
