Starred Review. Grade 7–10—Exploring Indian identity, both self and tribal, Alexie's first young adult novel is a semiautobiographical chronicle of Arnold Spirit, aka Junior, a Spokane Indian from Wellpinit, WA. The bright 14-year-old was born with water on the brain, is regularly the target of bullies, and loves to draw. He says, "I think the world is a series of broken dams and floods, and my cartoons are tiny little lifeboats." He expects disaster when he transfers from the reservation school to the rich, white school in Reardan, but soon finds himself making friends with both geeky and popular students and starting on the basketball team. Meeting his old classmates on the court, Junior grapples with questions about what constitutes one's community, identity, and tribe. The daily struggles of reservation life and the tragic deaths of the protagonist's grandmother, dog, and older sister would be all but unbearable without the humor and resilience of spirit with which Junior faces the world. The many characters, on and off the rez, with whom he has dealings are portrayed with compassion and verve, particularly the adults in his extended family. Forney's simple pencil cartoons fit perfectly within the story and reflect the burgeoning artist within Junior. Reluctant readers can even skim the pictures and construct their own story based exclusively on Forney's illustrations. The teen's determination to both improve himself and overcome poverty, despite the handicaps of birth, circumstances, and race, delivers a positive message in a low-key manner. Alexie's tale of self-discovery is a first purchase for all libraries.—Chris Shoemaker, New York Public Library

Arnold Spirit, a goofy-looking dork with a decent jumpshot, spends his time lamenting life on the "poor-ass" Spokane Indian reservation, drawing cartoons (which accompany, and often provide more insight than, the narrative), and, along with his aptly named pal Rowdy, laughing those laughs over anything and nothing that affix best friends so intricately together. When a teacher pleads with Arnold to want more, to escape the hopelessness of the rez, Arnold switches to a rich white school and immediately becomes as much an outcast in his own community as he is a curiosity in his new one. He weathers the typical teenage indignations and triumphs like a champ but soon faces far more trying ordeals as his home life begins to crumble and decay amidst the suffocating mire of alcoholism on the reservation. Alexie's humor and prose are easygoing and well suited to his young audience, and he doesn't pull many punches as he levels his eye at stereotypes both warranted and inapt. A few of the plotlines fade to gray by the end, but this ultimately affirms the incredible power of best friends to hurt and heal in equal measure. Younger teens looking for the strength to lift themselves out of rough situations would do well to start here. Chipman, Ian --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

It sucks to be poor, and it sucks to feel that you somehow deserve to be poor. You start believing that you're poor because you're stupid and ugly. And then you start believing that you're stupid and ugly because you're Indian. And because you're Indian you start believing you're destined to be poor. It's an ugly circle and there's nothing you can do about it. Poverty doesn't give you strength or teach you lessons about perseverance. No, poverty only teaches you how to be poor.

But the IndianHealth Service funded major dental work only once a year, so I had to have all ten extra teeth pulled in one day.

our white dentist believed that Indians only felt half as much pain as white people did, so he only gave us half the Novocain.

They call me retard when they are pantsing me or stuffing my head in the toilet or just smacking me upside the head.

Nobody can do that, not even the hungriest magician in the world.

A good piece of chicken can make anybody believe in the existence of God.

  科学，一如几百年前的宗教，终究只是方法论，而不能够成为世界观，它们都有各自的傲慢偏见，有很多解释不了的现象，比如我们应该都经历过一种感受：眼前的一幕似曾相识，似乎在梦里见过...我相信书里所说：人生是一场修行，无论前世今生未来，因果报应，精神轮回不止，重要的是你收获平静，自由与爱

• a big realization of an indian boy

  作者：C la BB 发布时间：2010-08-18 11:08:43

  优点：爆笑、自嘲、暗讽、analogy、穿插漫画

  花了两个夜晚看完这本书，甜蜜又心酸。

  乍一看书名我还以为是以印度人写的，后来翻了下才知是一印第安小孩的journal。那么，INDIAN这个词什么时候表示印度人，什么时候又表示印第安人呢？？答案是不知道，得看上下文。

  In·di·an 1 n.

  Pronunciation: 'in-dē-ən, dial -jən or -din

  Function: noun

  Date: 14th century

  1 a : a native or inhabitant of India or of the East Indies b : a person of Indian descent

  2 a : AMERICAN INDIAN b : one of the native languages of American Indians

  主人公是一位十四岁的住在印第安保留地（Rez）的先天脑积水（Hydrocephalus）的自称漫画家的会打篮球的穷小男孩。他爸妈都是酒鬼，（他妈是前酒鬼…）他说保留地印第安人是一大窝酒鬼，醉酒是每年杀死印第安人的最大凶手。这本书还是毫无例外的围绕了三大人类永恒的主题展开：友情（Rowdy, Roger, Gordy, Coach）、亲情（Dad, Mom, Big Sister, Grandma）和爱情（Penelope）。其中爱情可以忽略不计，人家白人小美女就没承认爱他…而此书的用搞笑、白痴的小孩口气讲出了一些大问题，很大很大的问题，比如印第安人生存现状、比如种族问题、比如酗酒……这个脑积水小孩最后“背叛”了部族，走出了保留地，去找寻自己的梦想，去追求更好的生活。这才是Sherman要告诉人们的——要勇敢、要相信自己，不管自己有多穷多窝囊多没希望。

  罗素说：the world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. 人不能消灭寂寞、贫穷与痛苦。但是人一直在努力。重点是他们从来没有放弃。

  Junior（主人公）末尾意识到了一点：" I realized that i might be a lonely indian boy, but i was not alone in my loneliness".

  WE BELONG HERE, AND WE BELONG NOW.

  i had a great time reading the book.

  我的脑袋天生积水。

  我有四十二颗牙齿。

  我一眼近视一眼远视。

  我很瘦。

  我大手大脚走起路来像个大写的英文字母L。

  我的头颅硕大无比。

  我有癫痫症。虽然已经七年没发作了，但依然有高度复发的倾向。

  我说话结巴，口齿不清。

  我很穷很穷。

  哦，我忘了说最重要的一点，我是住在原住民保留区的印第安穷鬼。

  我被人嘲笑是弱智，我的头被人塞进马桶，我经常挨揍到眼睛淤青。

  部落里不欺负我的只有我的老爸老妈，我老姐和阿嬷，还有死党罗迪。我把时间都用在画画上，因为文字实在太难以捉摸，因为言语实在太有限。

  手中握着笔的时候，会让我觉得自己很重要。

  某一天，我做了一个决定，我要转去雷中，那个根本和我不是一个世界的地方。但是那里有着全国最好的一间小型学校。

  后面的故事，我想你们可以慢慢看下去。我经历了很多，失去了朋友，被族人认为是叛徒，很辛苦很挣扎的在雷中生存下去，然后交到新的朋友，再来就是面对身边人的离去，最后还是努力的生活下去。

  几乎是一口气读完这本书。眼睛酸酸的。

  阿诺有着我丢失很久的勇气和执着。

  如果我像他那样先天不足又被周围的人欺负嘲笑，大概早就一蹶不振的被打败了。可他没有啊。被揍了没有关系，还可以画画呢。族人记恨没有关系，有家人去做backup。球赛上场前紧张的直吐没有关系，上了场就会拼命加油做最好。家里贫穷生活窘迫没有关系，大不了走23英里路回家。

  只是：我必须证明自己永远不会放弃，我永远不会放弃努力，我永远不会努力放弃过生活，你懂吗？我永远不会向任何人投降，永远，永远不会，绝不！

  这就是生活的全部意义。

  唯有风，可以穿越荆棘。
