![]() I've read alot of books by Native American writers but this was my first Young Adult/Dystopian/Indigenous read. I was really happy to see an Indigenous book in the selections. I picked up The Marrow Thieves because it was short listed for Canada Reads 2018. Driven to flight, a fifteen-year-old and his companions struggle for survival, attempt to reunite with loved ones and take refuge from the "recruiters" who seek them out to bring them to the marrow-stealing "factories." ![]() ![]() But getting the marrow, and dreams, means death for the unwilling donors. The only people still able to dream are North America's Indigenous people, and it is their marrow that holds the cure for the rest of the world. In a futuristic world ravaged by global warming, people have lost the ability to dream, and the dreamlessness has led to widespread madness. ![]()
