'A powerful story of family, belonging, and identity interlaced with thriller.' Kirkus Reviews 'Boulley delivers a propulsive mystery thriller...unflinching prose...[and] a devastating yet gripping tale of finding family, recontextualizing faith, and reclaiming ancestry that serves as a searing critique of the ways that systems can fail vulnerable youth.' Publisher's Weekly 'Weaving together the history of stolen Native children with the contemporary dangers to vulnerable teens, this unforgettable novel is impossible to put down…and races to an explosive conclusion.' Booklist 'Shocking revelations keep pages turning. Boulley’s latest gripping thriller poignantly expands familiar characters’ stories and introduces a compelling new heroine.' The Horn Book 'A strong standalone story full of suspense and survival.' School Library Journal 'this compelling mystery thriller from the author of Firekeeper's Daughter.' Guardian, best new teen books 'Sisters in the Wind is both a page-turner and a work of real substance: a gripping thriller that leaves readers reflecting on identity, justice, and the power of story to reclaim what has been lost.' Books for Keeps 'a gripping and hard-hitting thriller... I would recommend this novel to mature readers in Year 10 upwards, but also to adults – it is also another fine example of a YA/adult crossover novel from which all readers will come way knowing and caring more.'
