About this listen
Book 1 of The Garcia Island Chronicles.
Fourteen-year-old Myles Cook is having a rough time. Not only has his mother run off with Jocelyn, her yoga instructor, but Myles and his dad have moved to a tiny rural island on BC's west coast to live in a log cabin. Garcia Island is nothing like Myles' old home in the city; there are no stores, the WiFi is sketchy, and let's face it, the people are strange. There's Clyde, the old guy in the silver airstream trailer who carves erotic demon sculptures, Daisy Archibald, the local coven's high priestess, and Axel Jespersen—a recumbent cyclist and angora goat farmer who is just plain nasty! Finally, there is Norm next door, a man who teaches Myles a little about llamas and a lot about life. Factor in a taxidermy raccoon (Myles' spirit animal?), a first crush, and a lot of growing pains, and Myles quickly discovers that truth really is stranger than fiction. But people can be full of surprises, and as the saying goes, you can't always judge a book by its cover. And sometimes, when things are out of your control, the smartest thing you can do is take a deep breath, let go and roll with it. (Well, you can try, right?)

The characters are delightfully eccentric but believable. I loved the next door neighbours and their llamas Desmond, Snowflake and Audrey. There were hilarious episodes with local 'witches' including three with a large Instagram following.
Well read by the narrator and I'm looking forward to more from Myles.
Great fun. I highly recommend it. I listened on my travels, chuckling to myself!
Good fun and a most enjoyable audiobook
