| The Marrow Thieves |
The
Marrow Thieves is a dystopian tale of the not-too-distant
future. Climate change is now wreaking
havoc on the coasts, the cities have crumbled, and survivors are struggling to
maintain small communities. The most
pronounced effect of these changes is the loss of an important part of our
humanity: our dreams. Indigenous people
are the exception; they can still dream, and this ability becomes a
sought-after commodity.
At first it seems that Frenchie and his family can make
their way in this new world together, but they soon realize they are being
hunted. As Frenchie’s family members
disappear one by one, he discovers that the powers that be want to harvest his
bone marrow, and that of all Indigenous people, to regain their dreams. But this “harvest” comes at the price of Indigenous
people’s lives.
Frenchie finds a new family of sorts – a group of people
who band together for companionship and survival. Will they be able to defeat the marrow
thieves? Or will they be on the run
forever?
An award-winning must read!
