Give Me Some Truth by Eric Gansworth
3.0
First Nations story, near NY/Niagara Falls, set around 1980.
Maggi and her twin brother, their older sister and their mom had actually moved off the rez for 8 years but now older sister Marie has persuaded mom that they should move back to the reservation, so back they go. There she re-encounters people and things she doesn't or barely remembers because she was only 8 when they left. One person she meets again is Carson who is trying to get a band together and who also helps her get a job. However, on this job she meets creepy older white guy who thinks she's hot - you can figure out where that story line is going.
High school appropriate for sexual content and drinking and language. But if you're in a middle school with First Nations students and they want something authentic to read, definitely give them this but be aware that there is some really intense stuff in here!!
