Publisher's Synopsis
The Adventures of Ren: A New Life in Cyber City takes you on a journey from the forests of the Highland to the tall buildings of Cyber City with an eleven year old girl discovering herself while traveling with her alien friend between two different cultures radically changed by global warming. Although Ren's story takes place 200 years in the future, her adventure touches upon timely topics that preteens encounter today such as bullying, prejudice, adapting to a new school, peer pressure, loss of a parent and friendships. Her adventure begins with the loss of her parents to a tragic accident. She must now move from the simple village life of her childhood to the technologically advanced world of her relatives. As she adjusts to her new home with her aunt, uncle and two cousins, she must bridge the differences between the two places to discover what's right with her and the world she encounters. Along the way she meets sophisticated robots, attends a virtual school, and experiences a holographic amusement park called Androtium. Ren's adventure takes the middle grade reader on a journey of self discovery. As she grows through each situation she encounters, every person reading this book will too.
