Fire Starters by Jen Storm

emotional tense fast-paced

3.0

Although on the nose at times, Fire Starters is a nuanced and thoughtful narrative that unflinchingly calls out the barely-concealed racism of Canadian settler society and the anti-indigenous abuses that happen in policing and in schools. Illustrated beautifully with rich colour and detail, this short graphic novel takes a loving look at race, identity, and life on reserves for the native youths who don't get to explore and be kids the way white kids do without facing prejudice and violence as a result.
