Frenchie, an Indigenous teen of North America, becomes one of the hunted for his bone marrow, which the Council believes holds the key to the ability for non-Indigenous people to dream. His journey leads him through harrowing experiences and emotions that allows him to understand his heritage and his people.
I really enjoyed this book. Lots of metaphorical meaning, which to some degree, mirrors our current state of existence.
