Moderation:
Rikarde Riedesel

After two tragic accidents in the Cree reserve Wounded Sky, in which his parents were killed, 17-year-old Cole Harper grows up with his aunt and grandmother in Winnipeg. Cole is supposed to overcome his trauma and leave the past behind him. He no longer has contact with his three closest childhood friends, Ashley, Brady and Eva - until one morning he is flooded with text messages by Ashley asking him to come back to Wounded Sky immediately. Against all external and internal odds, Cole goes on the journey ...

But what is actually going on in Wounded Sky? And what does it have to do with Cole Harper? Who is the mysterious Choch and what's the story with the burning Jayne? With Cole Harper's return to Wounded Sky, an exciting and quite dangerous adventure begins. Only slowly does Cole manage to combine his rudimentary childhood memories and the threatening events of the present and to realize the meaning of his mission ...

David A. Robertson has not only written an exciting thriller with his Cole Harper trilogy. He has created in Cole Harper a teenage protagonist who, gradually and by returning to his roots, overcomes his psychological injuries and learns to accept himself for who he is and to integrate himself into the community.

A read aloud for teens and adults who enjoy exciting stories with depth.

Due to travel restrictions, the Canadian authors will not be present at the book fair, but the author is going to join the reading via video and to participate in the discussion.
