Having lost his family, he found a new one, and at the end of The Marrow Thieves there was hope of a happy ending for Frenchie and his fellow travelers. Soon, residential schools pop up-or are re-opened-across the land to bring in the dreamers and harvest their dreams.” French, aka Frenchie, aka Frances, spent three years traveling across Canada. The government soon finds that the Indigenous people of North America have retained their dreams, an ability rumored to be housed in the very marrow of their bones. Without dreams, people are haunted, sick, mad, unable to rebuild. “Years ago, when plagues and natural disasters killed millions of people, much of the world stopped dreaming. Fortunately for all of us excited to read more about this world, the fans convinced author Cherie Dimaline to write a sequel. Not only did The Marrow Thieves receive the Canadian Governor General’s Literary Award (Young People’s Literature – Print), the Kirkus Prize, the Burt Award for First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Young Adult Literature to name a few awards, it was also banned. The main character, Frenchie, who survived all the harrowing adventures in the very well received The Marrow Thieves (2017), is back. Hunting By Stars, written by Métis author Cherie Dimaline is a stunning display of force. ![]()
