Written by M\u00e9tis Cherie Dimaline, the novel follows an Indigenous teenager and his friends as they struggle to survive in a world where the Indigenous people of North America are being hunted and harvested for their bone marrow.<\/p>\n

Thunderbird Entertainment will now adapt the work as a limited series for television.<\/p>\n

The book, published by Cormorant Books-owned Dancing Cat Books, won The Canada Council for the Arts\u2019 Governor General\u2019s Literary Award for Young People\u2019s Literature \u2013 Text and the Kirkus Prize for Young Readers last year.<\/p>\n

Alex Raff\u00e9, Thunderbird Entertainment\u2019s senior VP of scripted production, brokered the deal with Linda Saint, founder of literary representation firm The Saint Agency.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause The Marrow Thieves has become an important work for the Indigenous community, it was essential to find a team who could bring this story to life with a commitment to honour its messages and worldview,\u201d said Dimaline. \u201cThunderbird has made such a commitment.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
