It's 1954 and eight-year-old Regina Petit and her family--members of the Umpqua tribe in northern Oregon--are forced by the U.S. government to relocate to Los Angeles. There, Regina tries to adapt, making friends outside her culture and figuring out what it means to be Indian. McManis and Sorell's straightforward, easygoing narrative is shot through with deadpan, subversive humor; this book is distinctive in voice, accessible in style, and told with an insider's particular power (based on McManis's childhood).
