The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian
5 of 5 stars
Though I found this title in the young adult section, I highly recommend this book to all readers. A moving tale of a young man, Arnold Spirit, torn between two worlds: the Indian reservation that is the only home he's ever known and the n...

5 of 5 stars
