About this work & edition details

Bewahre das Geheimnis. Lebe die Lüge. Finde deine Wahrheit. Die 18-jährige Daunis Fontaine hat nie wirklich dazugehört, weder in ihrer Heimatstadt noch in der nahe gelegenen Ojibwe-Reservation. Denn sie ist halb weiß, halb Native American. Daunis träumt von einem Neustart am College, wo sie Medizin studieren möchte. Doch als sie sich plötzlich um ihre Mutter kümmern muss, beschließt Daunis, die eigenen Pläne vorerst auf Eis zu legen. Der einzige Lichtblick ist Jamie, der neue und sehr charmante Spieler im Eishockeyteam von Daunis‘ Bruder Levi. Daunis genießt seine Aufmerksamkeit und hat sich gerade in ihrem Leben eingerichtet, als sie Zeugin eines schrecklichen Mordes wird. Damit nicht genug, wird sie vom FBI rekrutiert, um undercover zu ermitteln. Widerstrebend willigt Daunis ein und erfährt so Dinge, die ihre Welt vollkommen auseinanderreißen ... Ein bahnbrechender, fulminanter Krimi über eine Native American, die in einen Mordfall verwickelt wird – direkt nach Erscheinen auf Platz 1 der New-York-Times-Bestsellerliste.

About this work & edition details

Perry Firekeeper-Birch has always known who she is -- the laid-back twin, the troublemaker, the best fisher on Sugar Island. Whilst her overachieving sister works away at an internship, Perry's holiday plans mostly involve doing absolutely nothing. But her carefree summer is brought to an abrupt end when she meets 'Warrior Girl', a Native American ancestor whose stolen remains are being kept in the archives of a local university. Perry's rebellious spark becomes a righteous blaze and she vows to do whatever it takes to bring her home. She calls on the help of a small group of friends and allies, including her twin and a charming new boy in town. But the plan is not without danger: indigenous women are disappearing at an alarming rate and when one of their group goes missing, it's down to Perry to make things right. Old rivalries, sibling secrets, and botched heists cannot -- will not -- stop her from uncovering the mystery before the ancestors and missing women are lost forever.

About this work & edition details

A Printz Honor Book! An AIYLA Honor Book! A Good Morning America Book Club Pick! From the instant New York Times bestselling author of Firekeeper’s Daughter and Warrior Girl Unearthed comes a daring new mystery about a foster teen claiming her heritage on her own terms. Ever since Lucy Smith’s father died five years ago, “home” has been more of an idea than a place. She knows being on the run is better than anything waiting for her as a “ward of the state”. But when the sharp-eyed and kind Mr. Jameson with an interest in her case comes looking for her, Lucy wonders if hiding from her past will ever truly keep her safe. Five years in the foster system has taught her to be cautious and smart. But she wants to believe Mr. Jameson and his “friend-not-friend”, a tall and fierce-looking woman who say they want to look after her. They also tell Lucy the truth her father hid from her: She is Ojibwe; she has – had – a sister, and more siblings, a grandmother who’d look after her and a home where she would be loved. But Lucy is being followed. The past has destroyed any chance at safety she had. Will the secrets she's hiding swallow her whole and take away any hope for the future she always dreamed of? When the past comes for revenge, it’s fight or flight. Angeline Boulley's award-winning canon of books puts compelling characters and fast-paced action at the center of narratives rich in historical context. Read Firekeeper's Daughte r; Warrior Girl Unearthed ; and the soon-to-be-released Sisters of the Wind in any order; but like the world itself, there are echoes within each for the other stories. Pick this up if you love: - quiet girls with dark pasts - explosive opening scenes - wolves in sheeps’ clothing

More About Angeline Boulley

Angeline Boulley is an enrolled member of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians who considers Sugar Island home. Before publishing fiction full time, she worked in education and Native-student advocacy, experience that informs the institutions, families, and community responsibilities in her novels.

Her Firekeeper books are stand-alone but interconnected young-adult mysteries led by different Indigenous girls and young women. Boulley builds each around a natural element—fire, land, then air—and uses suspense to examine belonging, colonial institutions, foster care, repatriation, and violence affecting Native women.

Firekeeper's Daughter was a decade-long path to publication and became a major award winner. The series has continued through Warrior Girl Unearthed and Sisters in the Wind, while interviews show Boulley returning to the responsibility of telling Ojibwe stories and the responses of Native readers.
