Critics Review
Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection
★ “An adrenaline rush-inducing must-read.” –School Library Journal, starred review
★ “A powerful and moving depiction of seeking justice amid mourning.” –Booklist, starred review
“Writing in the first-person for Ulá and ingeniously using omnipresent narration for other characters, Tison weaves in Bribri folklore, reflections on the fight for Indigenous Costa Rican rights, and the weight of familial ties to great impact. Rich, complex, and powerful in matters of the heart.” –Kirkus Reviews
“A welcome, engrossing addition to the growing landscape of suspenseful Indigenous young adult literature.” –The Horn Book
“Tison builds a dramatic murder mystery about corrupt systems, familial ties, and how to “re-matriate” Indigenous land. Ulá’s first-person narration is crisp and direct, while a chorus of Bribri ancestors gracefully depict several side characters’ experiences.” –Shelf Awareness
