Description

#1 New York Times bestselling author Angeline Boulley takes us back into the world of Firekeeper's Daughter in this high-stakes mystery about the power of discovering your stolen history. 16-year-old Perry Firekeeper-Birch has every intention of quitting her internship. Being stuck in a museum was never part of her lazy summer plans, but her no-nonsense Aunt Daunis had other ideas. Everything changes when Perry meets Warrior Girl, a Native American ancestor whose bones are locked away in the local universitys archives. Perrys rebellious spark becomes a righteous blaze, and she will do whatever it takes to bring Warrior Girl home where she belongs. Taking matters into her own hands, she plots a daring heist with a bunch of misfits. But this uncovers much bigger secrets that Perry and her friends must set right before their ancestors are lost forever.

A swift-paced, compelling thrillerGuardian

A story that grips like a bulldog clip on your heart Katherine Rundell, author of The Good Thieves

Thrilling and heartwrenching Aisha Bushby, author of A Pocketful of Stars

A burning sense of injustice runs through Warrior Girl Unearthed. With verve and not a little humour Angeline Boulley brings highly topical issues - cultural heritage, the purpose of museums, the legacy of the past - to a young audience.'

'A story with well-developed characterization that is both compellingly readable and deeply thought-provoking. A page-turning heist grounded in a nuanced exploration of critical issues of cultural integrity.'KirkusStarred Review

'Perrys snarky first-person narration propels this intelligent heist narrative, culminating in a thrilling and empowering read.'Publisher's Weekly
