The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian
Description
Junior, a budding cartoonist, navigates the complexities of identity and belonging as he makes the courageous decision to leave his troubled school on the Spokane Indian Reservation for an all-white farm town school. Facing prejudice and isolation, he finds himself the only Native American student in a sea of unfamiliar faces, where even the school mascot is a symbol of his heritage. This poignant and humorous novel explores themes of poverty, racism, friendship, and the search for a place to call home, all through the eyes of a resilient teenager determined to forge his own path.
