I started and finished this book in 6 hours. Now why did it take us like 2 weeks to read it in high school? That's how you know high school is an evil place! Insufferable institution!

Great book, though. I'm glad I reread it.

But I had to take away points for use of the n word. Like damn even if it's not from our main character, it's very disappointing the author wrote that in.

A cute, easy read into the dualities of living as an Indigenous person in a predominantly white society. It does feel very reflective of the time it was written in, almost idolizing the “generosity” of the white folks that Junior interacts with.
