For fans of Angie Thomas and Tommy Orange, Angeline Boulley's debut novel, Firekeeper's Daughter, is a groundbreaking YA thriller about a Native teen who must root out the corruption in her community. Eighteen-year-old Daunis Fontaine has never quite fit in, both in her hometown and on the nearby Ojibwe reservation. She dreams of a fresh start at college, but when family tragedy strikes, Daunis puts her future on hold to look after her fragile mother. The only bright spot is meeting Jamie, the charming new recruit on her brother Levi's hockey team. Yet even as Daunis falls for Jamie, she senses the dashing hockey star is hiding something. Everything comes to light when Daunis witnesses a shocking murder, thrusting her into an FBI investigation of a lethal new drug. Reluctantly, Daunis agrees to go undercover, drawing on her knowledge of chemistry and Ojibwe traditional medicine to track down the source. But the search for truth is more complicated than Daunis imagined, exposing secrets and old scars. At the same time, she grows concerned with an investigation that seems more focused on punishing the offenders than protecting the victims. Now, as the deceptions—and deaths—keep growing, Daunis must learn what it means to be a strong Anishinaabe kwe (Ojibwe woman) and how far she'll go for her community, even if it tears apart the only world she's ever known.

Inhalt: Bewahre das Geheimnis. Lebe die Lüge. Finde deine Wahrheit.
Die 18-jährige Daunis Fontaine hat nie wirklich dazugehört, weder in ihrer Heimatstadt noch in der nahe gelegenen Ojibwe-Reservation. Denn sie ist halb weiß, halb Native American. Daunis träumt von einem Neustart am College, wo sie Medizin studieren möchte. Doch als sie sich plötzlich um ihre Mutter kümmern muss, beschließt Daunis, die eigenen Pläne vorerst auf Eis zu legen. Der einzige Lichtblick ist Jamie, der neue und sehr charmante Spieler im Eishockeyteam von Daunis' Bruder Levi. Daunis genießt seine Aufmerksamkeit und hat sich gerade in ihrem Leben eingerichtet, als sie Zeugin eines schrecklichen Mordes wird. Damit nicht genug, wird sie vom FBI rekrutiert, um undercover zu ermitteln. Widerstrebend willigt Daunis ein und erfährt so Dinge, die ihre Welt vollkommen auseinanderreißen ...
