The Absolutely True Diary of aPart Time Indian
Sherman Alexie and Ellen Forney

In
this young adult fictional novel, Sherman Alexie writes from the
perspective of a young Aboriginal boy, Junior, growing up on a
reserve in Washington State. Junior makes the transition from the
reserve school to a public school. The story depicts the struggle
that many Aboriginal youths face in living between two very
different worlds. This novel would be beneficial for many students,
as it gives a powerful insight into the struggles facing individuals
in many Aboriginal communities. That said, the book is gritty and
contains some materials that may not be appropriate for younger
students; grade 10 is probably the earliest the book should be used.
