"I think no one should leave young adulthood without reading Sherman Alexie's The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian."

"Sherman Alexie's semifictional alter ego in "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian" and the 11-year-old pop-star protagonist from Teddy Wayne's "The Love Song of Jonny Valentine." They're both exceptional kids whose natural gifts allow them to leave home in pursuit of a dream."

"The next day he said it was one of the best books he'd ever read and that it wasn't only for younger readers. It was for everyone. I agree."
