It is about caring, about love, about how people can continue, and will continue.I highly recommend The Marrow Thieves. It will resonate with other Native readers, too.This story is one I'm carrying. a riveting, adventure-packed coming-of-age story whose orphaned hero, an Indigenous 16-year-old boy known as Frenchie, makes an arduous northward journey to what he and his companions hope will be relative safety, and finds community and culture in the face of violence and dehumanization., Cherie Dimaline creates a near-future world which distinctly echoes our own, current and past traumas that have come back to repeat themselves, fiction with a basis in reality that gives the narrative a sheen of hard truths, following the trials and tribulations of a relatable cast of characters and their struggles to survive, and live their lives with the love and safety denied to them., Dimaline's story resonates with me.

A dystopian world that is all too real and that has much to say about our own.' Starred review.

A riveting science fiction novel that is a must-buy for any library seeking to expand their teen collections., 'Miigwans is a true hero in him Dimaline creates a character of tremendous emotional depth and tenderness, connecting readers with the complexity and compassion of Indigenous people. The author has created a rich work of postapocalyptic fiction without the dense exposition often found in the genre. Dimaline writes elegant prose that grabs the reader and carries them into this dark and passionate world.
