Set in the early 2000’s Michigan, Daunis (18), who is part Ojibwe, agrees to become a confidential informant for the FBI to help track down who is behind the rampant drug-usage and drug-related deaths in her community.

Although the mystery is an important part of this book, I found learning about the Ojibwe teachings and the heritage fascinating. Learning about respecting the elders, Seven Grandfather Teachings, ceremonies, and their language is what truly separates this mystery book from others.
