The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

232 pp. | Little | September, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-316-01368-0 $16.99
(1) YA Illustrated by Ellen Forney. Junior makes the iffy commute from his Spokane Indian reservation to an off-rez high school where he's the only Indian. Though short, nearsighted, and disabled, he joins the basketball team, which leads to a showdown with his home team. Junior's inimitable and hilarious narration is intensely alive with short paragraphs, one-liners, and take-no-prisoners cartoons (expertly depicted by Forney).
