"When the little they can collect is collected, they roll the body in a sheet and begin the trouble of carrying it out. And when it's convenient, which turns out to be weeks later, their notification to the deceased's family will be the return of said deceased in a thin casket, remains enclosed, back to his people and to his home." Why did it take thirty more years to close the residential schools?

Getting ready to go down a very sad path by reading this. 50th anniversary of Chanie Wenjack's death is this Saturday October 22. Heartbreaking. "We are not the country we thought we were." Gord Downie.

My #allhallowseve read.

This is a great read. I love the fact that all her books are so different from one another

I ran a naming contest for our new pet in the library at school. The condition was that it had to be literary. I was pretty impressed when a grade four girl came up with this!

So, I really wanted to like this book but I just didn't care. I found it jumpy and disjointed. I bailed a third of the way through. 💣🎈

I enjoyed the story very much but not as much as the first two books I've read by this author. The story was quick paced me held my interest with its twists. There was a lot going on in the plot and I feel more attention good have been to character and story development of some of this was lessened.
