Book Menu for The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie

ISBN of edition I read: sorry I can't remember if it was the paperback or the hardcover

This hilarious and sad young adult novel was one of the best books I read last year. It made its way around my family.  I even assigned it to my adult book group. They loved it.
