Reach for this book when your teenager is feeling the friction between their personal identity and the heavy expectations of their heritage or family legacy. It is a poignant, quiet story about Ante, a young Sami reindeer herder in Northern Sweden who is beginning to realize he is in love with his best friend, Erik. As he navigates the physical demands of his traditional life, he also faces the internal pressure of maintaining his culture while fearing his queerness might exclude him from it. This is a sensitive and beautifully written exploration of identity that is perfect for older teens who are grappling with the feeling of being different within a close-knit, traditional community. It offers a rare look at how cultural pride and personal truth can coexist, even when the path forward feels uncertain.
