The Marrow Thieves

I loved this. The little kid in me who was obsessed with survival novels (my Side of the Mountain, etc) was jumping for joy at reading about life on the run in a world that has gone mad. In the future, most races of humans stop dreaming, which leads to depression and violence on a major scale. It is discovered that the bone marrow of Indigenous people can be used as a cure, and as a result, they are hunted, rounded up, and placed in “schools” where they are harvested. One only needs to think of concentration camps to realize how this could become reality and quickly.
We are with one band of survivors on their way North, where it is rumored that there is safety. The group is made of up of members of every age.
The absolute best part of this novel is that each character gets to tell their story and we are given insight into who they are and where they are from.
Fantastic, and should appeal to older teens and adults. The content is a little rough for younger kids. But it would really depend on the reader and how well they could grasp the concepts presented here.
