Another fantastic story! Picks up right where the second one leaves off and delivers excitement, adventure and some closure. Serious matters are skillfully handled for a middle grade novel.

This series is a great blend of fun and adventure while also being very poignant and deep. 
After Mistapew (Bigfoot) steals Eli’s soul, Morgan needs to recruit help to track down Mistapew to save Eli before it’s too late. There are other twists and turns along the way. 
Filled with Cree language, storytelling, and other cultural elements as well as representation for Indigenous children in foster care. These books are important and are an asset to any classroom or library.
Can’t wait for the next one!

Another great book in this series. Such a fun way to learn about indigenous traditions and culture. And everyone needs to know who they are. ❤️

A great conclusion to the Misewa Saga!! I really enjoyed this Narnia-esque middle grade fantasy series set in both urban Manitoba and an alternate universe where filled with talking animals. The first half of this book saw Morgan going on a quest in Misewa to save her foster brother Eli's life. Then when they return to reality, the story deals with Morgan's birth mother's death and her desire to reconnect with her kokum (grandmother). I loved how the author seamlessly weaves Cree culture and traditions into the story - from sweatlodges to trapping and living off the land to the sad quality of life on reserves (high costs of fresh food and other amenities, etc). Great on audio too! Much thanks to NetGalley for an early digital copy and Librofm for my ALC!!

What an incredible conclusion to the trilogy!

I could read about Morgan and Eli’s adventures in Misewa forever, and I would not be mad if David A. Robertson decided to write more in this series or world
