The Firekeeper’s Daughter by Angeline Boulley (March)
Angeline Boulley’s debut novel, The Firekeeper’s Daughter (Henry Holt and Co.), is an electrifying thriller that centers on an Ojibwe teenager, Daunis Fontaine, who becomes entangled in a murder investigation. Set in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, Boulley weaves together themes of family, identity, and culture in this gripping story. Daunis must navigate between her Ojibwe heritage and the predominantly white world around her as she uncovers secrets that could change her community forever. Boulley’s storytelling is both heart-pounding and thought-provoking, making this a must-read for fans of mystery and Indigenous literature alike. —Emily Temple
