While there are no novels that fully compare with Angeline Boulley’s debut, there are some notable young adult fiction books that share similarities. From Own Voices authors sharing the stories and traditions of their Native cultures, to themes of sacrifice, the search for justice, and high stakes mystery, I’ve compiled a list of young adult books like Firekeeper’s Daughter. (Please note: as with Firekeeper’s Daughter, many of these stories do include mentions of rape, suicide, and other intense content. Proceed with caution.)
