Klappentext zu „The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian “
Bestselling author Sherman Alexie tells the story of Junior, a budding cartoonist growing up on the Spokane Indian Reservation, with a foreword from Jaqueline Woodson.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, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, which is based on the author's own experiences, coupled with poignant drawings by 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.
With a forward by Markus Zusak, interviews with Sherman Alexie and Ellen Forney, and four-color interior art throughout, this edition is perfect for fans and collectors alike.

Rezension zu „The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian “
"A Native American equivalent of Angela's Ashes." -- Publishers Weekly "Sure to resonate and lift spirits of all ages for years to come." "Realistic and fantastical and funny and tragic-all at the same time." -- VOYA "The line between dramatic monologue, verse novel, and standup comedy gets unequivocally-and hilariously and triumphantly-bent in this novel." -- Horn Book "What emerges most strongly is Junior's uncompromising determination to press on while leaving nothing important behind." -- BCCB "Few writers are more masterful than Sherman Alexie." -- Los Angeles Times "Alexie's humor and prose are easygoing and well suited to his young audience." -- Booklist "Fierce observations and sharp sense of humor...hilarious language." -- Newsday "Exceptionally good...Arnold is a wonderful character." -- Miami Herald "[Alexie] has created an endearing teen protagonist in his own likeness and placed him in the here and now." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune "Deftly taps into the human desire to stand out while fitting in." -- BookPage "Nimbly blends sharp with unapologetic emotion...fluid narration deftly mingles raw feelings with funny, sardonic insight." -- (starred review) "This is a gem of a book...may be [Sherman Alexie's] best work yet." "Breathtakingly honest, funny, profane, sad...will stay with readers." -- KLIATT
