The book continues to stay interesting all the way through to the end, and I like how the author uses comedy to make fun of the world for being ignorant. The story addresses problems like racism and poverty by showing the struggles that minorities go through. ]]> 2018-05-15 14:35:05 UTC https://padlet.com/zrward/pgz9ra7g87ut/wish/260873396 zrward https://padlet.com/zrward/pgz9ra7g87ut/wish/261206746 2018-05-16 13:26:37 UTC https://padlet.com/zrward/pgz9ra7g87ut/wish/261206746 Relevance zrward https://padlet.com/zrward/pgz9ra7g87ut/wish/261209231 This book helps you walk a mile in the shoes of a young Native American living on an Indian reservation in a racist town.
