In the Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, a young Indian boy describes his experiences of leaving his comfort zone and joining an all white school. The story is very humorous and has funny references that most teens would enjoy. Though depressing as times, Junior always manages to sneak in comedy to make the story less dark and more friendly. However the comedy is not too ridiculous to prevent getting important points across.
It is interesting to see how Junior has such guts even though he is considered as a weak boy. Whenever the huge bully got up in his face, Junior punched him even though the bully would win in a fight. This story allows you to see the world through a poor Indian's eyes who is fighting for some stability in his life.
