The Marrow Thieves

Cherie Dimaline

In a future damaged by global warming, most people can no longer dream, and the resulting dreamlessness has led to widespread madness. Indigenous people in North America still possess this ability, and their marrow is treated as a possible cure for everyone else. A fifteen-year-old and his companions flee those seeking to take that marrow by force. As they try to survive, they also seek loved ones and shelter from recruiters who bring people to factories where marrow is taken.
