“Every time I read this book, I cry. Even though there is no particularly flowery language, Sherman Alexie gets his point across in a way that can reach everyone. He writes in a matter-of-fact way, with funny cartoons to aid him. The main character tells the story in this book, and everything that happens to him, no matter how sad, is told in a way that can still make you laugh. The fact that it's all true makes the story more potent.”

I'm a long time Sherman Alexie fan, and his first YA attempt doesn't disappoint. Mandatory of good YA, Alexie doesn't hold back, creating a memorable character readers will want to root for. This is a heart-breaking, but ultimately hopeful, look at life for a teenager on a reservation, and an honest portrayal of how hard it can be to make a change.”

They had good designs. Junior (main character) had many problems in his life. He had a stuttering problem, he had seizures once in a while, and nobody liked him, except his drunk parents, his best friend Rowdy, and his friends that he just made at the school that he transferred to. Overall, it had an okay story line. ”
