A Quick Tip by Improvbear

An exceptional novel, for story, for storytelling, and for getting into the head of a Native American. Alexie brings his magical word weaving to a tale of a boy whose life is changed by a flight through time and seeing through the eyes of others. You will believe every moment, and you will cheer for the ending.
