The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian
By Sherman Alexie

Fantastic!
I laughed, I cried, I felt angry and impressed...14-year-old Arnold Spirit, Jr. takes his readers on an incredibly honest, real journey through his first year of high school as the only Indian in an all-white school.  With frankness and wit and humor (and plenty of swear words), Arnold writes in his diary about being Indian, being poor, being beat up all the time, and being determined to make his life better.  His diary is full of funny cartoons, too, because Arnold Spirit is a budding cartoonist.
