A story of courage, identity, and finding your way home A Bug Travels Far follows Ty Fly, a courageous young trans-bug whose life takes an unexpected turn. After a routine practice session, Ty makes a wrong turn and ends up far from home — whisked from Boston all the way to New York City. With only two days left before a crucial fly-ball game, Ty must navigate the bustling city, face unfamiliar challenges, and race against time to return to his team. Along the way, he discovers the power of friendship, self-acceptance, and resilience. The story reminds readers that even the smallest travelers can make the longest journeys — and that being true to yourself is the greatest adventure of all.
