genre: realistic fiction
rating: 8/8 tentacles
This is the diary of a young boy searching for his place in the world as he grows up on a Spokane Indian Reservation.
Sherman Alexie tells Arnold
"Junior" Spirit's story with poetry and wry honesty. We follow Junior as
he struggles to preserve hope in the face of adversity and, at times,
tragedy. His vulnerability and earnestness make it almost impossible
not to root for him. It's a fast read and includes Junior's doodles and cartoons. Definitely worth taking the time--I recommend it to everyone. I'm looking
forward to reading more of Alexie's work
