For fans of Angie Thomas and Tommy Orange comes a ground-breaking YA thriller about a Native American teen who must root out the corruption in her community

Daunis har aldrig følt sig hverken hvid nok eller ojibwe nok, og hun har derfor heller aldrig følt sig rigtigt hjemme. Hverken i sin hjemby eller i det nærliggende ojibwe-reservat. Hun drømmer om en ny start på college, men en familietragedie sætter hendes fremtid på hold. Det eneste lyspunkt er mødet med den charmerende, men mystiske Jamie fra det lokale ishockeyhold. Alt forandrer sig, da Daunis er vidne til et mord og ufrivilligt bliver hvirvlet ind i en FBI-sag, hvor flere fra hendes omgangskreds viser sig at være under mistanke for at fremstille og sælge nye, dødbringende stoffer. Snart må Daunis ændre sit syn på, hvad det vil sige at være ojibwe, og hvad det vil sige at være en Firekeeper.’’Firekeepers datter’’ er ikke bare en hæsblæsende thriller om identitet, korruption og løgne, det er også en fortælling om en indfødt amerikansk piges kamp for sin kultur og sit lokalsamfund. Bogen strøg direkte ind på New York Times’ bestsellerliste, vandt Goodreads Choice Award for Best YA Fiction 2021 og er med på TIME Magazines liste over The 100 Best YA Books of All Time. En Netflix-serie er på vej, produceret af Obamas produktionsselskab.Om forfatteren:Angeline Boulley kommer fra Sugar Island, Michigan og er medlem af Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians.
