The Marrow Thieves by Cherie Dimaline
5.0

This book! It was good all the way through, but the final pages had me squealing and weeping and feeling! The writing is exquisite. The character building is captivating. And it does an excellent job of immersing its readers in First Nations history and culture, all in the appealing package of a dystopian YA novel. One of a kind and full of depth. I wish I could replace any one of the white male coming of age stories that high schoolers have to read with this one. Bonuses: Métis #ownvoices, lgbtq rep, female author. Read this book!
