Cory's April Staff Pick


The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian
Written by Sherman Alexie
Audiobook Alexie

Sherman Alexie is a masterful storyteller with an ear for language and acute observational powers. This book won the National Book Award in 2007 and continues to be immensely popular with both teenagers and adults.

Semi-autobiographical, the story is about a boy's struggles on and off the Spokane Indian reservation and is funny and tragic at the same time. I read it in one sitting. A must-read (or listen).
