The Interrogation of Ashala Wolf by Ambelin Kwaymullina
4.0
I'm so glad I finally read this!
It was on my potential-booktalk list for years, and by the time I finally got around to reading it, I was worried that my library system might be out of copies of this or the two other books in the series. Luckily, I think I got to it in just in time.
I may have been initially intimidated by the length of this - it's almost 400 pages long. I was reading with middle school booktalks in mind, so I generally try for more general-population-interest, reluctant reader books. This year, I had room, and it ended up being one of my favorite books that I read in 2018.
Dystopia, superpowers, flashbacks, sci-fi, siblings, living-in-the-woods, trees, DINOSAURS, capers, ownvoices...
Honestly, the only thing that might have improved this book for me would have been if they'd all been queer. Maybe the sequels go there?
