Bad Cree (2023)
WINNER OF THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION’S 2024 YOUTH MEDIA AWARD
In this gripping, horror-laced debut, a young Cree woman’s dreams lead her on a perilous journey of self-discovery that ultimately forces her to confront the toll of a legacy of violence on her family, her community and the land they call home.
PRAISE FOR BAD CREE
“The novel serves as a window into a world where dreams intersect with waking reality, and where that unseen dimension is as much a part of the life of a tight-knit family and community as bingo, jokes, and video games. It works equally well as spine-tingling thriller and a touching meditation on grief.”
Publishers Weekly
(Starred review)
“In evocative yet understated prose, Jessica Johns weaves a captivating tale of love, loss, the violence of greed and the healing power of family.”
Michelle Good, author of Five Little Indians
“Bad Cree deftly explores the permeable boundaries of dreams, reality, and culture, as well as complex family dynamics and relationships. A compelling novel that is a mystery and a horror story about grief, but one with defiant hope in its beating heart.”
Paul Tremblay, author of The Pallbearers Club
