Walking in two worlds

Kinew, Wab, 1981-,


Bugz is caught between two worlds. In the real world, she's a shy and self-conscious Indigenous teen who faces the stresses of teenage angst and reserve life. But in the virtual world, her alter ego is not just confident but dominant in a massive multiplayer video game universe. Feng is a teen boy who has been sent from China to live with his aunt, a doctor on the reserve, after his online activity suggests he may be developing extremist sympathies. Meeting each other in real life, as well as in the virtual world, Bugz and Feng immediately relate to each other as outsiders and as avid gamers. As their connection is strengthened through their virtual adventures, they find they have much in common in the real world, too: both must decide what to do in the face of temptations and pitfalls, and both must grapple with the impact of family and community trauma. But betrayal threatens everything Bugz has built in the virtual world, as well as her relationships in the real world, and it will take all her newfound strength to restore her friendship with Feng and reconcile the parallel aspects of her life: the traditional and the mainstream, the east and the west, the real and the virtual.

Traduction de : A friend for Dragon. Dragon s'ennuie et aimerait bien avoir un ami, mais l'hippopotame est trop fatigué, l'écureuil trop occupé et le crocodile trop grognon.

Pour lui faire une blague, un serpent dissimulé dans les hautes herbes fait parler la pomme, que Dragon ramène naïvement à la maison, où il peut apprécier les qualités de sa "copine", qui semble apprécier les mêmes choses que lui et qui sait écouter.

Affolé, le héros ramène son amie chez lui et finit par l'enterrer dans le jardin. Les saisons passent, apaisant lentement son chagrin, et, l'été revenu, Dragon se rassoit au pied de l'arbre quand soudain...
