Produktinformationen zu „The Marrow Thieves “
Kanada nach der Klimakatastrophe: Die Welt ist hart und unmenschlich geworden. Die Menschen haben die Fähigkeit zu träumen verloren. Nur die wenigen überlebenden Ureinwohner können es noch - und werden deswegen gnadenlos gejagt. Der 16-jährige Frenchie hat so seine ganze Familie verloren. Aber er hat eine neue gefunden: Träumer wie er, die gemeinsam durch die Wildnis des Nordens ziehen, immer auf der Flucht vor den Traumdieben. Ein paar Kinder und Jugendliche, einige Erwachsene und die wunderbare, rebellische Rose. Kann die Macht ihrer Geschichten und das Wissen ihrer Ahnen sie schützen.
Klappentext zu „The Marrow Thieves “
Humanity has nearly destroyed its world through global warming, but now an even greater evil lurks. The indigenous people of North America are being hunted and harvested for their bone marrow, which carries the key to recovering something the rest of the population has lost: the ability to dream. In this dark world, Frenchie and his companions struggle to survive as they make their way up north to the old lands. For now, survival means staying hidden-but what they don't know is that one of them holds the secret to defeating the marrow thieves. "Miigwans is a true hero; in him Dimaline creates a character of tremendous emotional depth and tenderness, connecting readers with the complexity and compassion of Indigenous people. A dystopian world that is all too real and that has much to say about our own." Kirkus Reviews
