Book 189: Apple: Skin to the Core by Eric Gansworth
Another of the Time Top 10 Children's/YA Books of 2020, also a National Book Award finalist. The book is a memoir, written in verse.
From Amazon: "Eric Gansworth is telling his story in Apple (Skin to the Core). The story of his family, of Onondaga among Tuscaroras, of Native folks everywhere. From the horrible legacy of the government boarding schools, to a boy watching his siblings leave and return and leave again, to a young man fighting to be an artist who balances multiple worlds. The term "Apple" is a slur in Native communities across the country. It's for someone supposedly 'red on the outside, white on the inside.""
