How seamlessly Boulley was able to weave together the book with Indigenous teachings is amazing. I don’t even know if that’s right as the cultural teachings are so vital to the story and the characters and make this book so amazing.
Every once and a while I read a book that I think should be read in high school because of the story, the writing, the themes, and characters and this is one of them.

This is labelled as being young adult but I would say it's definitely for older readers - 16+ would be my suggestion.
