The absolutely true diary of a part time Indian is a fictional novel written by Sherman Alexie. Its about a teenager named Arnold Spirit Jr who lives on a first nation reserve with his Mom, Dad, Sister, and Grandmother. It talks about life on the reserve with his best friend Rowdy, and how Arnold gets treated after he leaves the school on the reserve to join a school off the reserve. As I was reading this book i found myself laughing on every other page! I would rate this book a 9/10 as it is strictly for teenagers and older because of its explicit content. You can find this book at the literary and I guarantee you will be hooked after the first 30 pages.
Here is a passage from the text: "My head was so big that ltiile inidian skulls orbited around it. Some of the kids called me orbit. And the other kids just called me globe. They would pick me up, spin me in circles put their finger down on my skull, and say, "I want to go there".
