Third time's a charm! Finally a book I don't want to DNF 💃🏻
Up next…it‘s been on my shelf for years. Graphic novels are not really my thing, but so far it packs a punch.

pickI can see why this book won the awards it did. A good YA read that has a way of worming into your brain. Part funny part serious, overall an excellent read I would recommend to anyone.
Hey all!! One of my goals for the year was to read more banned books so I decided to start #bannedbooksunday and will be sharing a new banned book each week with why it was banned. This week and next I'll share 2 books. Book #1 this week is "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian" by Sherman Alexie. Banned due to profanity, violence and situations deemed sexually explicit.
If you want to join me post the #bannedbook your reading!

This compelling debut novel by new talent Byron Graves tells the relatable, high-stakes story of a young athlete determined to play like the hero his Ojibwe community needs him to be.
These days, Tre Brun is happiest when he is playing basketball on the Red Lake Reservation high school team—even though he can‘t help but be constantly gut-punched with memories of his big brother, Jaxon, who died in an accident.

pickByron Graves‘ debut novel is a winner! HS sophomore Tre loves basketball and plays his heart out in honor of his brother Jaxon who died last year. It‘s hard for his mom and dad to “see” Tre when they are still grieving their older son. Tre is a strong protagonist - he is partly based on the Ojibwa author‘s life in Minnesota.

pickTre is a sophomore, and his family is dealing with the recent death of his older brother. This story is about his family dealing with that grief, but it‘s also about friendship, crushes, the pressure of high school sports, and figuring out how those things work together. It‘s also about a Native American team proving themselves, and includes some action packed basketball games. 🏀
Due to language and alcohol use, I would consider this mature YA.
