A new identity in Banff

After her grandmother’s death, sixteen-year-old Kai Hunter leaves home to avoid foster care and builds a life in Banff under a false identity. The story brings together her Navajo and Stoney Nakoda heritage, new friendships, work with a forestry-service rapid-attack crew, and a growing connection with Rory, who shares her interest in motorcycles. Kai’s fear of being discovered complicates the security she is trying to establish. The dyslexia-friendly edition uses OpenDyslexic font, enlarged letter openings, added spacing, and cream paper with black text.

  • Teens and young adults interested in a coming-of-age story about identity and starting over.
  • Readers interested in Indigenous characters and a setting in Banff, Alberta.
  • Readers seeking a dyslexia-friendly edition with specialized typography and spacing.

The books are printed on cream paper with black text.

After her ikusin (grandmother) dies, Kai Hunter, a part Navajo, part Stoney Nakoda sixteen-year-old, runs away to Banff, Alberta, to avoid being placed in a foster home. Kai lies her way into a new identity, a job and a safe place to live. She makes new friends and volunteers with a rapid-attack crew for the forestry service. She even meets a great guy named Rory, who's into motorcycles, just like her-and who seems to be into her too. But Kai is scared of being found out, and she isn't sure that she can trust all of her new friends
