The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian (National Book Award Winner)

Description

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 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. With a foreword by Markus Zusak, interviews with Sherman Alexie and
Ellen Forney, and four-color interior art throughout, this edition is perfect
for fans and collectors alike. Read more
