Description

Firekeeper’s Daughter is a ground-breaking YA thriller about a Native American teen who must root out the corruption in her community. Perfect for fans of Angie Thomas and Tommy Orange.

Eighteen-year-old Daunis’s mixed heritage has always made her feel like an outsider, both in her hometown and on the nearby Ojibwe reservation. When she witnesses a shocking murder, she reluctantly agrees to be part of a covert FBI operation into a series of drug-related deaths.

But the deceptions—and deaths—keep piling up, and soon the threat strikes too close to home. Now, Daunis must decide what it means to be a strong Anishinaabe kwe (Ojibwe woman) and how far she’ll go to protect her community, even if it tears apart the only world she’s ever known.
