True Diary

I havent read a book like this since I was in Highschool. It really made me think of the differences that we as a society take for granted. Here is an indian boy with dissabilities who is drug down by what society thinks of how he should be living. Poor and even more poor. With no hopes at all for the future. He has the gumption to rise up out of his poverty sticken reservation he lives on to get a better education and life. He sacrifices his friendship with his best friend to go to a differen school. A school of hope as the author describes. A school full of white people, because white means hope to him and he needs alot of it. He goes to this white school with alot of bravery and wisdom. He learns how to live on the reservation with his differences and he goes to a middle class school and learns how to live with his differences there too. I have learned alot form Junior.
