Junior is a fourteen-year-old from the Spokane Indian Reservation who decides to transfer to the all-white high school in the nearest town — and immediately becomes a traitor to his community and an outsider in the new one. Alexie writes with humor that cuts and grief that doesn't ask for pity. The diary format, with Junior's own drawings, makes the dispatch intimate and immediate. One of the most banned books in American schools, which tells you everything about who it makes uncomfortable and why.
