I've been waiting to read this book for awhile and it was absolutely worth the wait!

Comprised of 11 stories from various Indigenous authors, Indiginerds follows Indigenous teens and how they connect their heritage to modern pop culture. From conversations about representation in media to sharing stories of Indigenous teens following their passions and hobbies, this book provides authentic storytelling of Indigenous lives with compelling artwork to help these stories come to life. A must-read for anyone interested in reading Indigenous voices for a YA audience and you happen to like graphic novels.
