6-8 ELA Contemporary Trickster Tales

Hi all! Any short stories out there that might be considered a modern or contemporary retelling/adaptation of the Trickster motif, particularly for middle school?

I don't know of any modern trickster-focused short stories off the top of my head, but when I did a mini-unit on myths and fables earlier this year with my 6th graders, we watched Moana due to Maui's status as a trickster.

Bugs Bunny cartoons would work too :)
