Part Time Indian

Part Time Indian is a great and unbelievable book. It is hilarious and entertaining, but also suspenseful and sometimes a little bit rushed. The main characters name is Arnold, but in the book he is mostly called Junior, and he is Indian. Growing up Junior went to schools in his reservation which weren’t the best. He knows he deserves better and wants to transfer schools, but it’s not just his knowledge that changes his mind. He does end up transferring to Reardan in Springdale which is a little far out of the reservation he lived in. Junior knew that he was going to be hated by every other Indian in the Rez, but also revive a lot of hostility from the all white Reardan School. The first couple of days for Junior weren’t so good, but things started to look up after a while. The greatest thing that helped him become popular, was dating the most gorgeous girl in school, Penelope. As soon as Junior started dating Penelope, he made new friends with the cool guys, made the basketball team, and started to become the school icon. The rest of the year, Junior does everything he can to not embarrass himself in front of everyone. Once the summer started, Junior went back to his reservation, and became himself again.
