The Night Wanderer

Tiffany is a sixteen-year-old Anishinaabe teen living on the Otter Lake reservation. She’s dealing with a lot: her father is concerned about her grades, her mother has left to start a life with a new partner, and her white boyfriend makes racist comments about her Native heritage. When Tiffany’s father rents out their basement to Pierre L’Errant, the family doesn’t know the truth: L’Errant is a vampire returning to his tribal home after spending centuries in Europe. Tiffany and her family grow suspicious of their new house guest, especially when he has a conversation with their grandmother, who is the only known fluent speaker of their Anishinaabe language. When Tiffany flees into the woods one night, overcome by her life circumstances, she encounters L’Errant and learns about the history of their ancestors.
