Fourteen-year-old Junior wants more from life than to epitomize the stereotype of a Native American on the Spokane Indian Reservation, so he tells his family that he wants to enroll at a school off the reservation, known locally as the rez. The story follows Junior as he attempts to make his way through daily life as an outsider at his new school, while also struggling to maintain his traditional role as a member of the rez. With touching authenticity, this story absolutely, truly relates to teens from all walks of life.
