Messenger 93

by Barbara Radecki

Overview

“In seven days, she will fall,” say the crows. “As she falls, so do we all.” The ominous message starts M on a quest, but what if the person in danger happens to be her nemesis? M meets Gray, a Cree boy with his own hopes of saving a runaway Indigenous girl. As they begin a wild journey through the city and into the bleak northern woods, M grasps for the true meaning behind the crows’ messages and pushes deeper into worlds she doesn’t know or understand, holding fast to a questionable dream that she might be a modern-day Joan of Arc.

The Miramichi Reader

"Radecki's masterful turns of suspense and mystery send M, and the rest of us, on a thrill ride from downtown to the deep woods. It's a can't-put-down, must read adventure!"

Thom Vernon

"Messenger 93 is a driving story that twists and turns and entertains. Barbara Radecki has written a poignant book that asks hard questions about compassion and belonging."

Ken Murray

"This brave novel by Barbara Radecki tackles bold subjects — missing girls, celebrity culture, white privilege and cultural appropriation — as it explores one girl's pilgrimage of self-discovery."

Diane Terrana

"Centring a cast of well-developed and intricate characters, this intense and haunting novel pulls readers along on a complicated quest, and asks critical questions for readers to return to long after M's journey comes to an end."
