"When someone who looks like me goes missing - wondered 14-year-old Ojibwe teen Brianna Jonnie - why does it not get the same swift response from the police and the media as when a white person goes missing?

Brianna put this question to the chief of Police in a letter, urging them and the media to "do better" when investigating cases of missing Indigenous people.

This book brings that letter to life and sheds light on the issue of missing Indigenous people from an Indigenous girl's perspective."

Michaela is kind of a loner.  As a sprinter, this suits her just fine, since it's just her versus all the other runners on the track.  Her one attempt at cross country running as part of a team at summer camp is a dismal failure - one her teammates don't let her forget!

"For too many Canadians, our nation's role in the trans-Atlantic slave trade is almost entirely subsumed within the image of the final destination of liberty for those traveling the Underground Railway. This picture often entirely eclipses the painful reality of chattel slavery practised in (what was then called) British North America, which played a significant role in both the development of Canada and the anti-black racism that continues to haunt us."
