The Witch Boy by Molly Osterag was a fantastic read! I enjoyed so many different aspects of this series. The characters are honest, the cultural elements are intriguing (without being fantastic) and the writing is simple yet interesting.
I particularly like the challenge of gender norms found in strong cultural settings.
As an adult reader, I see that gender norms are being challenged, however, younger readers will most likely simply enjoy the story of a young person following his dream, in spite of his "predetermined path".
Did I mention the drawings? Fantastic! Worth the read...at any age!
