Description

|
|
|
(National Book Award winner) Already celebrated for such works as The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven and the screenplay for Smoke Signals, Sherman Alexie won the 2007 National Book Award for Young People's Literature with this "gem of a book ... maybe his best work yet" (NYTimes), for young adults. Arnold Spirit, better known as Junior and bearing more than a passing resemblance to Alexie himself, spends his time with his best friend Rowdy, shooting hoops and drawing cartoons about living in poverty on a Spokane Indian reservation—until he decides to go to an all-white high school off the rez, making himself an outcast both there and at home. "The line between dramatic monologue, verse novel, and standup comedy gets unequivocally—and hilariously and triumphantly—bent in this novel."—Horn Book (starred review)
