I love books. This is a blog of the books that I have read both past and present. Each book will receive a quick rundown that includes a rating suggested by me and anyone else in my family who has read the book. I use the school grading system, with A+ being the best, to score the books. If books use profanity or contain inappropriate content I will note this in my summary. Feel free to contact me anytime to talk books and if you live near me I am always willing to loan out my books! amyjcaz@hotmail.com

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian By Sherman Alexie

Book Type: Young Adult
Rating: A+ if you took out all the JUNK! But because there is so much crud I have to give it an F. This book would have been great if you left out the crude language and sexuality. It is bad...R rating bad. I wouldn't let my teen read this book which is sad since it was good otherwise. Anyone have Clear Play for novels?

Recommended For: No one

Genre: Drama

Themes: Current Native American traditions/Life on and off the Reservation for an Indian teen/Basketball

Main Character: Male

Annotation: A young Native American wants more for his life than is offered on the Spokane Indian Reservation. This book depicts his ups and downs as he breaks all rules and begins to attend the white school miles away from the Rez.
