Although based on the author\u2019s childhood, <em>True Diary<\/em> is a work of fiction and is considered one of the best Native American YA books. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>14-year-old Junior (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/arnold-spirit-true-diary\/\">Arnold Spirit<\/a>, Jr.) lives in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/wellpinit-the-absolutely-true-diary-of-a-part-time-indian\/\">Wellpinit<\/a>, Washington, a small town on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/spokane-indian-reservation\/\">Spokane Indian Reservation<\/a>, known to residents as \u201cthe rez.\u201d Junior describes the rez as \u201clocated approximately one million miles north of Important and two billion miles west of Happy.\u201d Junior&#8217;s unique narration helps makes it one of the best Native American YA books. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Junior was born with too much cerebrospinal fluid in his brain, and the consequent brain damage has resulted in numerous complications, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Nearsighted vision in one eye and farsighted in the other<\/li><li>Seizures<\/li><li>A stutter and lisp<\/li><li>42 teeth (most people have 32)<\/li><li>A huge skull<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to Junior\u2019s physical challenges and speech impediment, people on the reservation regularly beat him up and refer to him as a \u201cretard.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Junior\u2019s Suspension<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Native American YA books like <em>The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian<\/em> can help discuss what people like Junior experience. On the first day of his Freshman year of high school, Junior\u2019s so excited about learning geometry that he opens his textbook to kiss it. As he leans in, he sees \u201cAgnes Adams\u201d written on the inside cover. Agnes Adams is Junior\u2019s mom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With horror, Junior realizes that the book he\u2019s holding is at least thirty years old. To him, <strong>the fact that his tribe is so poor that students have to use the same books their parents did is the \u201csaddest thing in the world.\u201d<\/strong> He feels his hopes for the class, and for his life, evaporate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without really understanding why, he suddenly hurls the textbook across the room, hitting his teacher in the face and breaking his nose. Consequently, Junior\u2019s suspended, the first time he\u2019s ever gotten into trouble at school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Junior doesn\u2019t realize it at the time, but this moment of anger signals his refusal to accept the poverty, alcoholism, and poor education that his fellow Spokanes take for granted. The teacher whose nose Junior has broken is angry with Junior, but he also understands, better than Junior does, the feelings behind Junior\u2019s anger. He advises Junior to leave the reservation, and Junior decides to transfer to Reardan, the rich, redneck, racist farm town where the white kids go to school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through Junior\u2019s story, <em>The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian <\/em>touches on the themes of racism, identity and belonging, the importance of dreams, poverty, alcoholism, and friendship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian<\/em> has a special place amongst Native American YA books, and is frequently read by young adults. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are the best Native American YA books?
