Hardcover

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.
