Young Adult
In his first book for young adults, bestselling author
Sherman Alexie tells the story of Junior, a budding
cartoonist growing up on the Spokane Indian Reservation.
Determined to take his future into his own hands, Junior
leaves his troubled school on the rez to attend an all-white
farm town high school where the only other Indian is the
school mascot. Heartbreaking, funny, and beautifully
written, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian,
which is based on the author's own experiences, coupled with
poignant drawings by acclaimed artist Ellen Forney, that
reflect the character's art, chronicles the contemporary
adolescence of one Native American boy as he attempts to
break away from the life he was destined to live.
