I just finished it for school (we started it in September) and I think that it’s a good book to read for school. I hope the other kids became more empathetic after it

A good friend of mine died of complications from hydrocephalus, so I appreciated this book's drawing more awareness to that condition.
Contains bullying, racism, alcoholism and abuse, masturbation.
No rating because I didn't get deep enough into it.

So short, but so powerful. I can't believe the amount of times I walked past this book in numerous libraries and never picked it up!

Listening to Junior describe his life on and off of the reservation as a teen indian was great. I really loved the good and sad moments in this book about life for one Spokane Indian teen. It was suprising to hear that this book was published not so long ago as it seems our culture would be past racist remarks like he hears from classmates. Sometimes the truth (or truth-ish) is a sad realization that much in our world needs repair.

Wow... I don't even know where to start. First I can't even remember the last time a book had me laughing and crying at the same time. I was really touched by this story. It had a prevailing theme of the human will or ability to create hope and then ultimately triumph. It was absolutely fantastic!
