A great companion to a great book, this includes bookmarks, an interview with the amazing author, other books to support the indigenous community, and resources to support those communities.

I loved this book club kit! This is such a handy tool to have when discussing this novel in book club. The inclusion of the author’s story brings a new light to the background of the book. I really appreciated the recommendations of books to read from other indigenous authors.

This book was recently chosen for my book group to read and I was having so much trouble finding good questions to lead a proper discussion. This guide is so helpful and I can't wait to use these questions when we have our meeting!

I have never read a book club kit but it was neat getting to hear the author's story behind the story! I also really appreciated the suggested book club discussion guide. There were three printable bookmarks that mirrored the cover art that were really cool. I loved the list of books by other Indigenous authors and links to support Indigenous communities. These resources, unfortunately, are not common to come by.

Fantastic kit for use in book club meetings. We struggle with discussing the book (we usually say a few worked about it and then start chatting about anything in general) and this will help us to stay on track.

Definitely has good discussion topics/guides for Firekeeper’s Daughter. I really enjoyed the authors interviews which gave some interesting insight on her thought process and inspiration. If you’ve read the book alone or for a book club, this kit has great resources!

Great introduction to the kit with the authors note. Lots of thought provoking book club questions to structure discussions. Particularly liked the recommendation of other indigenous books, and what you might like about them based on features of Firekeeper's Daughter.

Okay this is an absolutely incredible resource for my bookclub to use. I am so appreciative of all the work that went into creating this PDF and I think it will for sure elevate our book club discussion about this incredible book.
Thank you!

I recently finished reading Firekeeper's Daughter, and this book club kit was a great resource. First -- bookmarks including the gorgeous cover art for the book. I always say that I could look at that cover all day, and now I can!

I really appreciated the insight I gained from reading the author's interview and introduction. I didn't know how closely Daunis's background reflected the author's own. Boulley really is a firekeeper's daughter! It is always great to hear how an author was inspired and what drover her to tell her story.

The book club discussion questions are numerous and thought-provoking. Everyone should read this novel -- and then use these questions to explore the book's impact more deeply!

Thank you to NetGalley, We Are Bookish publisher and the author for the book club kit!

This was my first time reading a book club kit and I loved it! Reading the author interview was really insightful. I also thought the bookmarks that you could download was such a fun idea. Also the discussion questions were great it really made you think about what to answer. I also appreciated that it recommended other books by Indigenous authors and provided how you can support Indigenous communities and additional hotlines.

This is great for book clubs!

Ich weiß ehrlich gesagt nicht, wie ich dieses Buch bewerten soll, da es sich hierbei ja lediglich um ein Book Club Set handelt und nicht um das richtige Buch...

Firekeeper's Daughter was one of my Top 10 books of 2022, so I loved the chance to look through an official book club kit. I'm such a sucker for bonus content from authors and I believe the author letter and interview included in this Kit could lead to really interesting book club discussions about identity and the process that formed the book. Also, the questions formulated by Angeline Boulley would be excellent jumping off points for club discussion.

This kit is awesome. I run a book club at a high school and this is great. I would love to see more of these for people like me. Already set with discussion points and printable bookmarks make this a 5 stars.

Downloaded this to use for my book club and I have to say I was immediately impressed with the detail. As somebody who has a difficult time leading book club conversation - this will be extremely helpful.

This downloadable and/or printable kit will be a great tool for book clubs reading Firekeeper’s Daughter by Angeline Boulley. I was thrilled to see how much detail was included in the kit, and it's the perfect size with an interview with the author, thought-provoking discussion questions, handouts, and a suggested reading list for those who want to read more books on Indigenous communities. The kit provides helpful and informative information that I can't wait to share with other book club members. I greatly appreciate the effort that went into creating such a useful tool that deepens our understanding of the importance of this book.

I really liked this. My book club is reading this book now and we have a meeting later this week and I'm so happy I stumbled across this so that we can use it in book club and talk about it. I love that it has extra things about the book and from the author

This is a fantastic resource from NetGalley & We Are Bookish! Thank you for the attention to details like the graphics and printable bookmarks that make this just fun to have and use. The content warnings are always helpful to gauge what folks have capacity for and the author interview was a great addition to the experience by offering insight for readers, beyond the thought-provoking discussion prompts.

This book club kit is delightful and seems clearly written by a booklover FOR booklovers! It’s so helpful to have something to use as a guide for conversations, and would be especially helpful for someone starting or joining a book club as well as anyone who wanted to deepen the discussion about the topics this story brought up for folks.

Special shout out for the inclusion of suggestions of books to read next AND Indigenous community resources! Loved that!
