This book is about Junior Spirit, during his first year in high school. Junior lives on the Spokane Indian Reservation, where he discovers that alcohol is more important to most residents than an education is. Junior decides to transfer from his reservation school to Reardan High, a white school that is more than twenty miles away. When he arrives, he finds that he is the only Indian. His best friend on reservation, Rowdy, doesn't transfer to a new schol with Junior and he vows not to speak to Junior again, as he calls Junior "traitor". Junior also knows that everyone else on the reservation think he is a traitor.
Although Junior is stimulated by Reardan's curriculum, he must fight to improve his social standing on and off the reservation. He accidentally accomplishes this when he tries out for Reardan's basketball team. He surprises himself as he actually gets in the team and becomes a starting player. Junior's biggest challenge is that he has to play against his old school, where Rowdy - his best friend, is the star player.
How is he going to deal with this?
This is a very funny book. Find and read this book, you won't be disappointed! :)
