The hill
Par Karen Bass. 2016
Jared’s plane has crashed in the Alberta wilderness, and Kyle is first on the scene. When Jared insists on hiking…
up the highest hill in search of cell phone reception, Kyle hesitates; his Cree grandmother has always forbidden him to go near it. There’s no stopping Jared, though, so Kyle reluctantly follows. After a night spent on the hilltop - with no cell service - the teens discover something odd: the plane has disappeared. Nothing in the forest surrounding them seems right. In fact, things seem very wrong. And worst of all, something - a creature that should only exist in legend - is hunting them. For senior high readers. 2016.Tales the elders told: Ojibway legends

Par Jennifer Dance, Allister Thompson. 2016

identity as a star athlete is stripped away, along with his muscles and energy. When he finds an osprey, “a fish hawk,” mired in a pond of toxic residue from the oil sands industry, he sees his life-or-death struggle echoed by the young bird. Slipping in and out of consciousness, Hawk has visions of the osprey and other animals that shared his childhood home: woodland caribou, wolves, and wood buffalo. They are all helpless and vulnerable, their forest and muskeg habitat vanishing. Hawk sees in these tragedies parallels with his own fragile life, and wants to forge a new identity - one that involves standing up for the voiceless creatures that share his world. But he needs to survive long enough to do it. For junior and senior high readers. 2016.Une nuit très longue (Roman+ #Vol. 41)

lyrical story-poem, written in Anishinaabemowin and English, a child and grandmother explore their surroundings, taking pleasure in the familiar sights that each new season brings. We accompany them through warm summer days full of wildflowers, bees and blueberries, then fall, when bears feast before hibernation and forest mushrooms are ripe for harvest. Winter mornings begin in darkness as deer, mice and other animals search for food, while spring brings green shoots poking through melting snow and the chirping of peepers. Brittany Luby and Joshua Mangeshig Pawis-Steckley have created a book inspired by childhood memories of time spent with Knowledge Keepers, observing and living in relationship with the natural world in the place they call home — the northern reaches of Anishinaabewaking, around the Great Lakes.Rap pour violoncelle seul: roman

les amis, le drame qu'on frôle sans même en être conscient. On part en ne sachant pas quelle vie nous attend ni ce quon laisse derrière. C'est la relation avec le père au sortir de l'adolescence, les silences et les malentendus. C'est une histoire du père, qui raconte un monde vaste comme une cosmogonie, comme un village natal. Une histoire des années cinquante, de doigts coupés, de gars saouls, de moulins et d'usines, de parties de billard légendaires et de promesses à tenir. Et puis c'est le territoire qu'on sillonne en voiture par tous les temps. La route de nuit sera longue depuis le comté de Portneuf jusqu'à Charlevoix; elle sera longue aussi entre Québec et Thetford Mines : le narrateur renoue les fils entre la mère, le père et le fils. Que devient notre jeunesse dans un pays qu'on a quitté? Quand passe-t-on d'un âge à l'autre? Comment devient-on adulte? Il faut parfois se retrouver seul au milieu d'une tempête de neige pour comprendre qu'on a l'avenir devant soi, et que tout peut arriverTrash anxieuse: roman
