This novel is inspired by B) Alexie’s childhood.
It’s a humoristic semi-autobiography which narrates the author’s experiences. The
story is about a 14-year-old buy named Arnold Spirit Jr. who is a Native
American living on the Spokane Indian Reservation, and his decision, upon
encouragement from a reservation high school teacher, to go to an all-white
public high school in the off-reservation town of Reardan, Washington.
