"In world nearly destroyed by global warming, the Indigenous people of North America are being hunted for their bone marrow, which carries the key to recovering something the rest of the population has lost: the ability to dream. 16 year old Frenchie and his companions are struggling to survive. Yet, they don't know that one of them holds the secret to defeating the marrow thieves." (courtesy of the book back cover) The Marrow Thieves is classified as a dystopian novel (dystopia = an imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or bad). But it also incorporates history, as we learn how the world collapsed into the current state. This is a book written by a Metis Canadian author that has received praise and recognition around the world. (excerpt: pages 2 - 4) FYI: this book is considered M for mature.
