"Warriors do for their people what others can't or won't."

Angeline Boulley is such a talented author. While her books are YA, she writes across genres so that they're perfect for anyone who likes YA, contemporary fiction, thriller/mystery, and a hint of romance. She also writes about incredibly important topics and educates through often too-real fictonal storylines.

Warrior Girl Unearthed follows the story of Perry Firekeeper-Birch and navigates through missing Indigenous women and NAGPRA (Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act), the federal law that allows tribes to request the return of ancestral remains and sacred items. We quickly unveil the amount of injustice present in both of these areas, and Perry is determined to take some matters into her own hands with her group of friends, Team Misfit Toys. My emotions were ALL OVER THE PLACE during this read and I honestly learned a lot.

Read if you:
- want to learn from an OwnVoices Native author
- enjoy YA books, mysteries and/or heists
- like cameos from an author's past books
- have wondered where museum items come from
- followed the case of Savanna LaFontaine-Greywind and the creation of Savanna's Act
