Today was a relaxing day for me. Softball practice in the morning-- windy and chilly! We also have my cousins' Labrador retrievers until Saturday. They're both pretty big, and LOVE attention and treats! :)
I just finished a book entitled "The Absolutely True Story of a Part-Time Indian" by Sherman Alexie. It tells the story of Junior, a Native Americana living on the reservation. His dreams are to go to Reardan, a school in a nearby town. Unfortunately, the rez kids are not well-liked by the people not on the rez. Can Junior adapt to his new life in Reardan? Or will he be an outsider of both his new school and his home reservation? I liked this book because it was cleverly written. There were some pretty amusing illustrations scattered in the pages, and that added to the humor of the book. I would suggest this to older kids.
Keep reading!
