Vote for the One Read book
The Daniel Boone Regional Library has a community wide One Read book every year. You can now make your vote among this year’s three finalist books until April 23rd. One of the book finalists this year features a comic connection that may sway your vote.
The Absolutely True Diary of A Part-time Indian is a story about a “budding cartoonist,” and the book also features comics created by real life cartoonist Ellen Forney. Here’s more about the book:
In this heartbreaking, funny, and beautifully-written novel for young adults, bestselling author Sherman Alexie tells the story of Junior, a budding cartoonist growing up on the Spokane Indian Reservation. Determined to take his future into his own hands, Junior leaves his troubled school on the rez to attend an all-white high school where the only other Indian is the school mascot. Coupled with poignant comics and illustrations by acclaimed cartoonist Ellen Forney, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian chronicles the contemporary adolescence of one Native American boy as he attempts to break away from the life he was destined to live.
You can make your vote online, or at one of the library locations.
