When he goes to the white school he is hated because he is Indian. The racism in this book is brutal, but when they realize that color or race does not matter they accept him and he is loved, even by the girl of his dreams. This is a really hilarious and heartwarming book that young adults should read this book.

When I first started to read this book I liked it, from the very first paragraph until the end it was joyful. It has violence and cussing, but also a fun filled book with jokes that will make you laugh. Pick up your copy at your local book store.
