Over the months Mary has contacted Junior sometimes. Mary now lives in Montana, is married to a guy she met in a casino, looks for a job and writes a book. Junior is also trying to stay in contact with Rowdy as good as he can, but most of the time he gets mean responses. First Junior looses his grandmother, a short time later Eugene and then his sister. All this lost and experience he gets in the book, maks him realize that he is much more than he thought he was and that he has never been alone. He also makes it up to Rowdy. • Washington • Reservation Junior's school "Reardon" The places are completely different. The reservation is the place Junior grew up at and his family and other members of their tribe live at. It is poor. At Reardon's Junior is the only native american and the other students got money. It is like the main character is living two lives.

After going to another school and all the lost he had to go threw, the main character realizes that he is and belonges to much more than he thought he did. For Example to the Spokane Indian, but also to the American Immigrants, Basketball player and much more. That also made him realize that he has never been alone in his loneliness. Native Americans Junior is a native american Racism Other students were at the beginning and Penelope's father is racist against Junior. Eating Disorders ↳ Penelope has one. Bullying Junior experiences it. Themes Poverty Juniot grows up in poverty and explains how it affects him. Grief ↳ Due to all the lost Junior has to experience, he also experiences much a grief and also how different grief can be. Death ↳ Many people Junior was closed to has died. Favorites My favorite chapter is chapter 17 because I like the school dance and how happy everyone was. Except for the times Junior got anxious about money. But at the end of the day even that turned out good for him because he finally revealed that secret to Penelope and got help from Roger and her. I also like chapter 29 & 30 much because even though Junior has lost much, he had a big realization and made it up to Rowdy. Recommendation? I would recommend the book because many young people struggle about their identity like Junior did and I think the book can give them some food for thoughts. You can also learn much about native americans, which is really cool considering that you often do not have the opportunity to learn much about them. 4/5 ★
