Book Review: The Flying Troutmans

Book Review: The Flying Troutmans
By Miriam Toews

Hilarious. Yes, I actually laughed out loud. This story is filled with nutty characters with the right amount of zany to fill me with giggles. Sorry, to those in the plane next to me.

Hattie comes home from Paris after her 11-year-old niece calls, asking for help. Hattie’s older sister has gone off the deep end of crazy again. And without her water wings, the gal is sinking fast. Hattie puts her sister in the fun house and decides to take Thebie, the talkative, creative 11-year-old and the quiet, brooding 15-year-old Logan on a road trip. Why? To find their father, because Hattie knows at 27, she’s still no parent. Into the minivan they go, with Hattie and Logan at the wheel. The road trip that ensues is a journey through human nature and the nuttiest Canadians you may ever meet.

If you liked the movie ‘Little Miss Sunshine’, you’ll like ‘The Flying Troutmans’.
