The Marrow Thieves

"In a future world ravaged by global warming, people have lost the ability to dream, and the dreamlessness has led to widespread madness. The only people still able to dream are North America's indigenous population - and it is their marrow that holds the cure for the rest of the world. But getting the marrow - and dreams - means death for the unwilling donors. Driven to flight, a 15-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.'"--

"Indigenous. Dystopian future. Excellent characters. Hard to put down!"
Joslyn
"It was an alright book. Loved the family dynamics and how detailed the characters are. Ending was so-so but loved the premise and theme of the whole book! "
Laine
"I decided to read this book because a school district in my state was being questioned for having high schoolers read this. I wanted to read for myself what could cause such a controversy. This book is thought provoking, well written and a must read for anyone. Note: The school district kept this book as required reading."

" Chock full of ethical questions that are very thought provoking and has strong female characters. "

"I first learned of this book on Native Lady Book Warrior's booktube page, and just now got around to reading it. I finished it in one day it was so good, and I say that as a plot-driven reader reading a book that is largely character-driven."

"I’m a mixed Indigenous person who didn’t grow up in my culture, so reading this made me feel happy to see indigenous representation."

"Very well written an emotionally resonant. You really feel the characters’ pain throughout their journey. You feel like you’re a part of their group, surviving the wilds."
Maya Harry
"This is a dystopian book kinda like the book uglies by Scott Westfield but so diffrent as well. In the end they are both running."

"This is the first book I've read with a Métis character and I felt so seen. I love this series so much. I didn't know how much I wanted to see someone like me in a book till I read this, I sobbed when I finished it. The writing is fantastic and the characters are interesting! 11/10"
Lillian Granger
"Premise is incredible. Excellent setting description but weak-ish characters and an unsatisfying ending, in my opinion."
