    <![CDATA[In his first book for young adults, bestselling author Sherman Alexie tells the story of Junior, a budding cartoonist growing up on the Spokane Indian Reservation. Determined to take his future into his own hands, Junior leaves his troubled school on the rez to attend an all-white farm town high school where the only other Indian is the school mascot. Heartbreaking, funny, and beautifully written, <em>The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian</em>, which is based on the author's own experiences, coupled with poignant drawings by acclaimed artist Ellen Forney, that reflect the character's art, chronicles the contemporary adolescence of one Native American boy as he attempts to break away from the life he was destined to live.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I chose this book because I thought it might be a good book to recommend to my 11 year old son.  Uhh... not for eleven year olds!  This book is a fantastic read and I enjoyed the humor and character development.  But I truly believe this book is more suited to 13/14 years old and up.  ]]></body>
