simonlorden 's review for:
From the Roots Up
by Natasha Donovan, Tasha Spillett
This story focuses on four indigenous teens, two of them Two-Spirit. I love how it introduces you to the culture in an understandable way, and while most of the book is about Two-Spirit identities and male-female roles this time, there's also description of police brutality and the violence of residential schools, not to mention foster care. (Fortunately, Dez's foster mother is actually cool, but that social worker sucks. Or she's very burnt out.)
