Can confirm that 1) it’s definitely worth the hype and 2) your jaw WILL be on the ground when you reach that twist.  

Stayed up super late last night reading Firekeeper’s Daughter by @FineAngeline. If I had off today, I wouldn’t have stopped myself at 73%. It’s SO good, and I have to know what happens, but I also have to be a responsible adult... pic.twitter.com/HCiPoo5Xmb

“part romance, part thriller, part coming-of-age, part police drama” All of the above.

Cozy blanket + a book you can’t put down = the perfect night.  

Okay I’m not indigenous but this quote from FIRE KEEPER’s DAUGHTER @FineAngeline resonates w me so much: “It’s YOUR identity, but it gets defined or controlled by other people.” This book is seriously awesome so far! #amreading #RepresentationMatters pic.twitter.com/Hu4X3Hxy9Q

“It’s YOUR identity, but it gets defined or controlled by other people.” Goosebumps, EVERY time.

We’re still processing that it’s over. . . we need MORE.  

If you need me ... I will be busy submerged in this absolutely gorgeous, riveting book that I can’t put down until further notice. If you need me tomorrow, I assume I will be too book hungover from devouring its perfection to respond so you know, good luck to you. pic.twitter.com/4vDndWF0UA

Need more convincing? Get it from your local bookseller!   With four starred reviews, Angeline Boulley's debut novel, Firekeeper's Daughter, is a groundbreaking YA thriller about a Native teen who must root out the corruption in her community, perfect for readers of Angie Thomas and Tommy Orange. Eighteen-year-old Daunis Fontaine has never quite fit in, both in her hometown and on the nearby Ojibwe reservation. She dreams of a fresh start at college, but when family tragedy strikes, Daunis puts her future on hold to look after 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, she senses the dashing hockey star is hiding something. Everything comes to light when Daunis witnesses a shocking murder, thrusting her into an FBI investigation of a lethal new drug. Reluctantly, Daunis agrees to go undercover, drawing on her knowledge of chemistry and Ojibwe traditional medicine to track down the source. But the search for truth is more complicated than Daunis imagined, exposing secrets and old scars. At the same time, she grows concerned with an investigation that seems more focused on punishing the offenders than protecting the victims. Now, as the deceptions—and deaths—keep growing, Daunis must learn what it means to be a strong Anishinaabe kwe (Ojibwe woman) and how far she’ll go for her community, even if it tears apart the only world she’s ever known.
