Part-Time Indian was a very quick read. Actually finished it Friday, but haven't had time to post. It's an entertaining story about an American Indian who leaves the rez to go to an all-white school, so he can better himself. A quick look at life on the reservation and the hardships that are faced. The main character actually is eventually accepted by the kids at the white school, so that sends a hopeful message, in this day when we hear so much about how pervasive bullying is in schools.
Now I'm on to Airhead by Meg Cabot. I understand that this book has a far-fetched plot (brain transplants) by I trust Meg Cabot to make it work. The awkward, unattractive, unpopular girl ends up in the body of a supermodel. This book is also the "first in a series," so that always makes me worry. As long as there is an ENDING to this book that's OK. I don't like one book, one plot, that is chopped into three pieces. I read so much and try to choose a variety, that I very rarely read past the first book in a series. Exceptions: Harry Potter, Twilight, and Luxe. I'll let you know what I think of this one.
