The narrative of Junior, a young cartoonist growing up on the Spokane Indian Reservation, is told by best-selling novelist Sherman Alexie. Junior, determined to take control of his own destiny, transfers from his problematic school on the reservation to a high school in an all-white agricultural town, where the only other Native American student is the school mascot.
Based on the author's personal experiences, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian is a heartbreaking, funny, and beautifully written book that follows a young Native American man as he tries to escape the life he was destined to lead. Ellen Forney's moving illustrations capture the character's artistic vision.
