Flight: A Novel

From the National Book Awardâ€“winning author of The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, the tale of a troubled boyâ€™s trip through history.

Half Native American and half Irish, fifteen-year-old â€œZitsâ€ has spent much of his short life alternately abused and ignored as an orphan and ward of the foster care system. Ever since his mother died, heâ€™s felt alienated from everyone, but, thanks to the alcoholic father whom heâ€™s never met, especially disconnected from other Indians.
Â
After he runs away from his latest foster home, he makes a new friend. Handsome, charismatic, and eloquent, Justice soon persuades Zits to unleash his pain and anger on the uncaring world. But picking up a gun leads Zits on an unexpected time-traveling journey through several violent moments in American history, experiencing life as an FBI agent during the civil rights movement, a mute Indian boy during the Battle of Little Bighorn, a nineteenth-century Indian tracker, and a modern-day airplane pilot. When Zits finally returns to his own body, â€œhe begins to understand what it means to be the hero, the villain and the victim. .Â .Â . Mr. Alexie succeeds yet again with his ability to pierce to the heart of matters, leaving this reader with tears in her eyesâ€ (The New York Times Book Review).
Â
