Kaya Abaniah and the Father of the Forest eBook Wayne Gerard Trotman

Kaya Abaniah and the Father of the Forest by Wayne Gerard Trotman delves into several themes of friendship, family, bullying, and wildlife conservation. Kaya Abaniah is a typical fourteen-year-old boy. He and his mother live on the island of Trinidad. Kaya attends a local school where is close friends with Tom and Raima. He has frequent run-ins with a group of bullies. All is as it should be until strange things begin to happen. The strange things occur when Kaya is ill with a fever and hears a man tell him to watch his food and what he eats. Then Kaya can read minds and perform tasks with above normal ability. Kaya, Tom, and Raima encounter danger on a school trip and meet who they believe is Papa Bois, the father of the forest. Kaya learns his own father’s identity and becomes a student of a group of characters from Trinidadian mythology.

Trotman, a native of Trinidad, brings his personal knowledge of Trinidadian culture to the book. The novel explores the animals, food, and religion of the island in great detail. Trotman relies on his experiences to create likeable characters who grow as the plot progresses. The reader learns a great deal about Trinidad, its animals, and food and culture in great detail.

The ideas and themes of the story are very focused and well-developed. The organization is easy to follow. Trotman’s real talent is in descriptive word choice. The story navigates between Standard English and Trinidad Creole. The dialogue moves the plot forward.

The novel is intended for young adults; I recommend high school as there are violence and some suggestion of typical high school flirtations and sexual innuendoes. The Creole dialect and slang do require close reading to understand the characters. I read the book in about five hours. My verdict? Fans of Percy Jackson and Harry Potter will love this original story steeped in tradition and culture.

Kaya Abaniah and the Father of the Forest eBook Wayne Gerard Trotman Reviews

There is so much I can tell you about this book. The bad thing is, though, I would be spoiling it. So I'll sum up everything.

I am not used to books being filled with extensive material on a country or culture, period. These days, authors skim over those important details to engage the reader instead of take the time in their story to teach them new facts about a foreign country you've probably never been too nor thought of visiting. This book taught me a lot about the country and culture in the two island Caribbean nation of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.

Anyways this is the story about fourteen year old Kaya (Hezekiah) Abaniah who lives with his single mother Josephine. He goes to college which is different considering he is only fourteen but I would assume it is just like high school. At face value, he is an ordinary boy until he starts hearing a voice in his head, guiding him which leads him to saving his crush, Raima Kahn, from drowning. After that, he began to experience sudden changes like telepathy and the ability to have control over animals.

This books keep you drawn in, wanting more and more to the very end. I recommend it for young adults, teenagers, and also adults who are interested in reading something original and new instead of rehashed story lines. This one is fantastic and you will not be disappointed.
After his epic Veterans of the Psychic Wars, Trotman does an excellent job of writing to a younger audience in Kaya Abaniah. He expertly blends science fiction with the local folklore and pressing environmental issues of his native Trinidad. In an age where youngsters seem to be losing the magic of the written word, Kaya Abaniah has strong appeal for teenage readers. Its pages come alive with suspense, intrigue, local history, teenage romance, and above all - vivid and realistic depictions of alien life - leaving the reader eagerly anticipating the next installment in Trotman's trilogy. As a Trinidadian, I feel very strongly that Kaya Abaniah should be included in the local Secondary School English Literature curriculum, not least because Trotman provides powerful inspiration for the budding authors and artists of Trinidad and Tobago.
Really loved the unique twist on this supernatural book. Let's start with the book's setting, which is Trinidad--I loved how I would never have expected this to be a setting yet it was. The author did an amazing job at illustrating Trinidad to the reader and focused a lot on culture too which I think can be so often looked over in books, yet it really adds to the overall value. The actual storyline has a lot of action, suspense and romance mixed into it. Overall, a truly unique and original book--have yet to read something like this!
A great fantasy that doesn't talk down to readers. The story takes place in the real world, and slowly shifts gears to the fantastical happenings. Kaya is a young boy living in the Caribbean (quite a different setting) and you slowly become immersed in another culture as you get to know his magical story. This isn't a short/quicky light read, but one written with rich descriptive depth.

Like old school fantasy, the writing is florid and full of sensuous detail of a world and culture that I have never visited. I appreciated the easy to use glossary in the back.
Only Wayne Trotman can take you back to those good old school days, a teenage crush, lure you into a conservationist dream through the wonderful tropical forest of a Caribbean island and then engage you in an intergalactic battle, all in the same chapter. To top it off this wonderfully written novel unfolds against the back drop of some of the Caribbean's favorite folklore characters. It's a well spun tale with colorful and mouthwatering descriptiveness that has you tasting Aunt Josephine's delicious local dishes.I honestly could not put this book down. And even if you are not a science fiction buff any one who appreciates a good story will enjoy this novel. Wayne has done a superb job. A truly enjoyable read.
