In an anthology of original short stories about children, teenagers, and young adults entering the world of work during their school breaks and downtime, Patrick Delaney emphasizes that there is no such thing as an unimportant job. Odd Jobs follows a series of characters as they work to help their families, earn some extra pocket money, or pay for an education. Others use work as a way to exercise their independence or figure out who they are. Sometimes they learn who they don't want to be. Whether they're working as babysitters, laborers, or lawyers, all of the characters experience unexpected moments amid the mind-numbing everyday duties. Delaney masterfully interweaves the stories to fondly remind you that work isn't just what you do-it's who you are and how you connect to the world.
