by Sherman Alexie
Life on the reservation is hard for Junior. He's 14, sickly, awkward, funny and very smart. He wanted more out of life than living with his family on the Spokane Indian Reservation. So he decided to go to the all white farm town high school where the only other Indian was the school mascot. His family supported his decision but his extended Indian family did not! His story is heartbreaking at times and hilarious at others. Junior is also a budding artist and his art is depicted throughout the book. For a look into the lives of Native Americans, this book is a real eye opener.
