A couple of weeks ago during my Friday book talk with the freshmen I shared about Sherman Alexie's new book, "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian". I predicted then this book would get a lot of attention. Well, guess what? I was right! Alexie just received the National Book Award's prize for young adult literature and received $10,000 for being the winner. The CHS library has two copies of his book, a semi-autobiographical story of a American Indian at an all-white school, and they are flying off the shelves. Apparently CHS students think this book is a winner also.
