The Marrow Thieves series by Cherie Dimaline begins with the 2017 novel of the same name, which won both the Governor General’s Award and the Kirkus Prize for young adult literature. The story is set in a dystopian future where climate change has ravaged North America and most people have lost the ability to dream. Indigenous people, who can still dream, are hunted and captured by the government.
The sequel, Hunting by Stars (2021), continues the story of Frenchie and his found family as they face new threats. The series draws on the real history of residential schools in Canada while building a speculative world that resonates with contemporary readers.
