Bloomsbury presents Red River Rose by Carole Lindstrom, read by Erin Higginbottom

This adventurous historical novel by bestselling author Carole Lindstrom offers readers a dramatic portrayal of a young Métis girl who takes a stand to protect her way of life.

Rose, her family, and the Métis people have lived on the land for generations. She spends afternoons tracking rabbits and gathering roots with her best friend, Ambroise, and her little sister, Delia. She loves to watch the ferry arrive, delivering goods and the latest news to their remote community.

But then Rose's parents start speaking in hushed tones, discussing whether they should “join the Resistance.” When she learns that the government wants to push the Métis off their land again, Rose feels angry. This is the home they love--and the land they tend to with care and respect. Determined to help preserve their way of life, Rose sets out on an adventure that will test her bravery more than she ever expected.

Set amid the Northwest Resistance of 1885, where the Métis people fought to defend the land, this powerful historical tale by New York Times bestselling author Carole Lindstrom illuminates the often forgotten side of life on the prairie.©2026 Carole Lindstrom (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Commentaires

Higginbottom captures Rose’s spirited determination and anger as she fights for her existence.
Honors the resistance of the Métis and First Nations people. . . . The emotional stakes are high, and Rose’s journey is one of inner growth, emphasizing courage, resilience, and the power of identity in uncertain times.
Lindstrom paints an image of life on the prairie for the Métis people, showing hardship while highlighting joy amid the Northwest Resistance of 1885.
A rousing historical tale about standing up for what one believes in. . . . Excels in relaying potent depictions of the cycles of grief and loss that permeate Indigenous history as seen through the eyes of an indomitable protagonist who will engender empathy and inspire readers.
An engrossing and harrowing work of historical fiction. . . . Red River Rose thrills, provokes, and disquiets. [A] moving middle-grade First Nations take on the romanticization of 19th-century pioneer stories.
A humanized portrayal of Indigenous displacement in Canada. . . . Both informative and emotional, this would make an excellent choice for readers looking for a more diverse counternarrative to laudatory accounts of Canadian and US expansion.
Lindstrom writes of her ancestors heroically standing up for their community. . . . Rose’s journey serves as an inspiring tale shining through the tragically dark history of the treatment of Native peoples, reminding young readers they too can accomplish great feats.
A needed corrective to Wilder’s settler colonial point of view. The book’s somber and suspenseful story line is balanced by Lindstrom’s hopeful outlook and descriptions of nineteenth-century home life.
