The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

Summary: Junior is a freshman in a high school on the Native American reservation on which he lives. When he makes a mistake that gets him in trouble at school, he decides to start going to a primarily white school off the reservation. This decision, however, is not well-received by everyone. The novel explores themes like prejudice, racism, loyalty, and stepping outside of one's comfort zone in a very straight-forward manner.
