The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie

Do you like the realistic fiction? Well if you do, you should read The Absolutely True Diary of a Part­-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie. The Absolutely True Diary of a Part­-Time Indian is a book about an Indian kid named Junior. Junior is very smart and intelligent, but he gets in trouble and is suspended. His teacher comes over to his house and tells him that everyone makes mistakes and he is very intelligent, so he tells him that he needs to push himself and go to Reardan High School. Reardan is a better school with advanced classes. But he would lose his best friend Rowdy, who would be back at the other school on the Indian Reservation. Knowing the fact that he would lose his best friend, he decides to go to Reardan anyway. Reardan is a school with mostly white kids, so he gets made fun of a lot. But as the school year continues it only gets better! For example he makes the varsity basketball team and makes a lot of new friends.
