Event Details

Open to young adults ages 13 and up. Registration requested. Refreshments provided. 

Celebrate the written word as we discuss plot, themes and characters with other young adult readers. 

Our first selection will be The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie. Bestselling author Sherman Alexie tells the story of Junior, a budding cartoonist growing up on the Spokane Indian Reservation. 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 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.
