In a futuristic world ravaged by global warming, people have lost the ability to dream, and the dreamlessness has led to widespread madness. The only people still able to dream are North America's Indigenous people, and it is their marrow that holds the cure for the rest of the world. But getting the marrow, and with it the dreams, means death for the unwilling donors. Driven to flight, a fifteen-year-old and his companions struggle for survival, attempt to reunite with loved ones and take refuge from the "recruiters" who seek them out to bring them to the marrow-stealing "factories."

Like Station 11. Not so much about the dystrophic world but the people (Indigenous/First Nation) affected by that world.
I read it but heard audiobook is really good.
I had to push myself to finish it. The premise was good and it was an easy read, but I did have to push to finish it. Found it a bit underdone.
Culturally interesting and informative but lacking in plot pacing and urgency.
