Recipient of the Native American Youth Services Literature Award, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie is a charismatic book that teenage boys (including my teenager) everywhere will relate to. Alexie’s wit and jocularity are right on target and he is able to get right into the mind of a 14 year old boy. There are very significant themes in this story including bullying, alcoholism, and poverty. This was a very quick read and I definitely recommend that parents read it before handing it off to your teenager.
5 Stars
