In this high-stakes thriller, 18 year old Daunis must juggle systems, rules, loyalties, and her own emotions in her quest for helping to solve some of the problems that plague her community. Because, as she knows, justice is not something native women are given, so she'll have to do what she can to do the best she can under the circumstances- for her entire community. A tightly-plotted high stakes thriller combining an FBI drug case, murder, hockey, family ties, the devastation of drugs, and even romance, set in an Ojibwe community on the UP. Firekeeper's Daughter is an emotional roller coaster that considers issues of justice, integrity, community, family, fairness, and trust, while also thrilling and enthralling. A masterpiece of YA fiction, Firekeeper's Daughter is going to rock the YA literary world like Angie Thomas did with The Hate You Give. I don't have the space to expound how brilliant this thriller is; a 2021 must-read. -Marika
