This book is the personal memoir of Jim Kristofic. Jim moved to the Navajo Reservation in Arizona from Pennsylvania right before starting second grade. His mother was a nurse, and had taken a job at a hospital on the reservation. Jim experienced a little bit of a culture shock, a white kid trying to fit in with Natives. There are a lot of experiences and memories recounted in this book that I don't want to share so that it doesn't spoil the whole thing, but I really appreciated the candor. Eventually, Jim went on to have some siblings that were half Native. The family moved off of the reservation and back into the mainstream white dominated world, and that was another culture shock. I loved learning different things about Native culture, and also about the struggle to fit in. I loved the lessons of love and acceptance in this book. There was also some humor in the book, which I loved. I hardly ever read a book that has humor in it, so when I find one, it is a real treat for me.
