Pages: 496
Publisher: Rock the Boat
Release Date: 18th March 2021
Blurb from Goodreads:
Debut author Angeline
Boulley crafts a groundbreaking YA thriller about a Native teen who must
root out the corruption in her community, for readers of Angie Thomas
and Tommy Orange.
As a biracial, unenrolled tribal member and
the product of a scandal, eighteen-year-old Daunis Fontaine has never
quite fit in, both in her hometown and on the nearby Ojibwe reservation.
Daunis dreams of studying medicine, but when her family is struck by
tragedy, she puts her future on hold to care for her fragile mother.
The
only bright spot is meeting Jamie, the charming new recruit on her
brother Levi’s hockey team. Yet even as Daunis falls for Jamie, certain
details don’t add up and she senses the dashing hockey star is hiding
something. Everything comes to light when Daunis witnesses a shocking
murder, thrusting her into the heart of a criminal investigation.
Reluctantly,
Daunis agrees to go undercover, but secretly pursues her own
investigation, tracking down the criminals with her knowledge of
chemistry and traditional medicine. But the deceptions—and deaths—keep
piling up and soon the threat strikes too close to home.
Now,
Daunis must learn 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.
