Growing up is never easy, but sometimes it can be exceptionally difficult. Set on the Caribbean island of Trinidad during WWII, and in the Pacific Northwest, Poonky Doodles follows the triumphs and tragedies of a young man's childhood and teen years, as he tries to find out who he is, who and what he wants to become, and why life can be very cruel even when he tries to do all the right things. Disturbing, yet rich with humour, friendships, and wisdom, Poonky Doodles is a unique and intriguing coming of age story you will long remember.
