They live in a post pandemic, futuristic world where young people live not just in a virtual reality but also in an augmented reality. They constantly see the world through their phones.<\/p>\n<p>The main characters, Bugz and Feng are gamers and online enemies. They come from two different cultures and continents and yet they find a commonality in the suffering of their people and their need to belong. While Bugz wants to rebuild, Feng wants to forget.<\/p>\n<p>While the story largely occurs in a gaming world, you don&#8217;t have to be a gamer to read this book. It is beautiful, intense, and has difficult themes to process from body shaming and self harm to racism and assault. But there is a great restorative arc that will have you rooting for Bugz and Feng and their respective journeys.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Walking in Two Worlds by Wab Kinew There is both a depth and a playfulness in the telling of this YA story about Bugz and Feng.
