I really, really love Angeline Boulley’s writing style. It is so genuine and realistic and engaging. I could go on.
Don’t let the four stars fool you. This book is fantastic. But if I’m comparing it to the Firekeeper’s Daughter and Sisters of the Wind, it’s just not AS good. With that being said, you should absolutely read this book.
Perry is so funny and passionate (when she finds something to be passionate about). I found her tenacity to be so inspiring.
This book brings into the question of anthropology and the stealing of human remains/cultural objects. Should museums have the right to display and study artifacts and remains that do not belong to them? What are the moral and ethical implications? I think the answer is obvious, but if that were the case, these items would have been returned to their rightful place long ago. Boulley really takes the time to show how the stealing of these items and the disrespect they are given impacts the people they rightfully belong to. 4.25⭐️

I learned a lot from this book—I knew next to nothing about NAGPRA. Reading the quotes and seeing the recent dates for these issues is humbling to say the least.
Perry is a 16 year old that finds herself needing a summer job to pay back her aunt. She gets an internship with her community’s cooky old man that runs a Native American heritage museum. But as Perry learns more about how her ancestors have been hidden away in literal boxes, she knows she has to do something to honor their legacies.
I liked this one, but didn’t love it. I still found myself engaged, but the climax of the story was much too rushed for me; there were parts I thought were just thrown together. Even with some minor details leading to confusion, the ending wasn’t shocking. I liked reading Perry’s story and her deep conviction and love for her community. Seeing hints of Daunis and TJ again were fun, too. This isn’t really a sequel to me, more of another story that’s connected.

Angeline Boulley, the author of the bestselling novel Firekeeper’s Daughter, returns with another riveting and emotionally charged thriller, Warrior Girl Unearthed. Set a decade after her first book, this standalone companion novel follows Perry Firekeeper-Birch, the fiercely independent niece of the previous protagonist, Daunis.
Sixteen-year-old Perry is completing a summer internship with the tribal council when she begins a project focused on the repatriation of stolen ancestral remains and sacred artifacts. As she immerses herself in the work, she must also confront the devastating reality of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls in her community. Fueling her with a righteous fire, Perry is a determined warrior who isn't afraid to stir up some trouble to find justice.
Boulley masterfully weaves a suspenseful mystery with the rich cultural heritage of the Ojibwe people. Warrior Girl Unearthed is an unputdownable adventure that is as heartbreaking as it is thrilling, making it an essential read for fans of contemporary young adult fiction and mystery.

It took me a bit longer to get into this book then it did for Firekeepers daughter but the second half moved very fast. Definitely written for a younger audience but still filled with beautiful writing and so much information I would have been ignorant to had I not had the chance to read this.
