“Where is hope?” You may have lost your own hope about finding the perfect teen book, but you will surely find a bunch of it stuffed into Sherman Alexie’s “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian”. The story of a buoyant Native American in a desperate reservation may sound boring at first, but Junior’s journey to find his hope while going through many both unfortunate and still humorous twists and turns in his life, will definitely appeal to everybody, including you. Being beaten regularly in his reservation in Spokane, Junior decides to go to the high school of the rich farm white town Reardan. Divergent and discriminated by all his schoolmates, he struggles everyday to fit in a society he was not meant to be a part of and probably never will. However, never giving up and always trying hard, Junior succeeds in becoming a part of Reardan’s community. During his path he reaches new heights but faces the loss of some of his most beloved and precious ones. But how is he going to handle all this? Well, your only HOPE to find out is to read this fantastic life book.
