"Arnold Spirit, genannt Junior, gehört zum Stamm der Spokane-Indianer. Als er mit 14 Jahren beschließt, die Trostlosigkeit des Reservates zu verlassen und zur Reardan Highschool wechselt, ändert sich ein ganzes Leben. Er wird zum Aussenseiter bei den Indianern ebenso wie unter den gutsituierten Schülern an der neuen Schule. Junior versucht seinen Weg zwischen den beiden Welten zu meistern und muss sich dabei immer neuen Herausforderungen stellen. 'Ich würde immer ein Spokane-Indianer bleiben. Diesem Stamm gehörte ich nun mal an. Aber ich gehörte genauso dem Stamm der amerikanischen Einwanderer an. Und dem Stamm der Basketballspieler. Und dem Stamm der Leseratten. Und dem Stamm der Zeichner.' Witzig, melancholisch und frei von Klischees. Eine tragikomische Geschichte von Sherman Alexie, der selbst in einem Reservat aufgewachsen ist."
"From New York Times bestselling author Sherman Alexie and Caldecott Honor winning Yuyi Morales comes a striking and beautifully illustrated picture book celebrating the special relationship between father and son.
Thunder Boy Jr. wants a normal name...one that's all his own. Dad is known as big Thunder, but little thunder doesn't want to share a name. He wants a name that celebrates something cool he's done like Touch the Clouds, Not Afraid of Ten Thousand Teeth, or Full of Wonder.
But just when Little Thunder thinks all hope is lost, dad picks the best name...Lightning! Their love will be loud and bright, and together they will light up the sky."
"From the New York Times bestselling author of multiple award-winning books comes this powerful, fast, and timely story of a troubled foster teenager—a boy who is not a “legal” Indian because he was never claimed by his father—who learns the true meaning of terror.
About to commit a devastating act, young “Zits” finds himself shot back through time on a shocking sojourn through moments of violence in American history. He resurfaces in the form of an FBI agent during the civil rights era, inhabits the body of an Indian child during the battle at Little Big Horn, and then rides with an Indian tracker in the nineteenth-century before materializing as an airline pilot jetting through the skies today. When finally, blessedly, our young warrior comes to rest again in his own contemporary body, he is mightily transformed by all he has seen.
This is Sherman Alexie at his most brilliant, making us laugh while breaking our hearts. Simultaneously wrenching and deeply humorous, wholly contemporary yet steeped in American history, Flight is irrepressible, fearless, and again, groundbreaking Alexie."
