Flight: A Novel by Sherman Alexie
RPalladino, March 31, 2008
Zits is an Irish Indian teenager who feels very out of place in the world. He has no parental figures because his father left him on the day he was born, and his mother died at an early age. He feels lost and vulnerable with few or no friends and no parents, which is why he is a very angry person and hard to deal with.Zits has lived in way too many foster homes, and he has gotten in trouble with the police so many times that he has made friends with some of them. He made friends with a boy named Justice who convinced him to do a ghost dance to bring back his father and mother, which led him to shooting people in a bank. When he gets shot himself he makes a journey through time living in other people’s bodies and learning valuable lessons.
Flight is a very easy book to read and it helps teenagers who feel out of place understand that they are somebody, and that they do belong someplace in the world.
