Walking In Two Worlds

An Indigenous teen girl is caught between two worlds, both real and virtual, in the YA fantasy debut from bestselling Indigenous author Wab Kinew. Bugz is a shy and self-conscious Indigenous teen who faces teenage angst and life on the Rez, while her virtual alter ego is confident and dominant. Feng, a teen boy from China, lives with his aunt on the Rez after online activity raises concerns. Meeting in real life and online, they connect as outsiders and gamers. As their virtual adventures strengthen their bond, they confront real-world temptations, family issues, and community trauma. Betrayal threatens their relationships, and Bugz must find strength to restore her friendships and reconcile her cultural identity and life in both worlds.
