\nMoon of the Crusted Snow by Waubgeshig Rice.
\n"A daring post-apocalyptic novel fro m a powerful rising literary voice. With winter looming\, a small northern Anishinaabe community goes dark. Cut off\, people become passive and conf used. Panic builds as the food supply dwindles. While the band council and a pocket of community members struggle to maintain order\, an unexpected visitor arrives\, escaping the crumbling society to the south. Soon after\ , others follow. The community leadearship loses its grip on power as the visitors manipulate the tired and hungry to take control of the reserve. T ensions rise and\, as the months pass\, so does the death toll due to sick ness and despair. Frustrated by the building chaos\, a group of young frie nds and their families turn to the land and Anishinaabe tradition in hopes of helping their community thrive again. Guided through the chaos by an u nlikely leader named Evan Whitesky\, they endeavor to restore order while grappling with a grave decision. Blending action and allegory\, Moon of th e Crusted Snow upends our expectations. Out of catastrophe comes resilienc e. And as one society collapses\, another is reborn."--provided by publish er.
