The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie gets the ultimate endorsement: censorship. This fabulous illustrated book, geared toward a junior high and high school audience, is both a funny and sobering look at life on the rez. A quick but memorable read.
Congratulations to Mr. Alexie!
PS, In October I had the privilege of hearing Sherman speak at Whitman College. For a summary of that experience, see my blog post here.
Memories of the People 
As a high school librarian, I’m always on the lookout for books that are controversial enough for someone to try to ban. It’s difficult to second-guess these people as their sensitivities are generally askew.
